Capitialize first two characters of string.

[brians]

We have a customer who wants the first two characters of their email to always be capitalized and the remaining characters to be lowercase. Can someone out there help me with a rule/script for this.

example: BShewry@company.com

var str = emailaddress;
return ToUpper(Left(str, 2)) + ToLower(Right(str, Len(str)-2));

 

I'm interested if there's a better way of doing this.

I'm not sure if it's better, but here's the geeky way of doing it using Regular Expressions:

return Field("Email").toLowerCase().replace(/^.{1,2}/, function(w){return w.toUpperCase()});

The advantage here is that you need to reference the original string (the call to Field in my example) only once.
