Method

Stringcapitalize(String str)
Capitalizes a string, i.e. 
if (str == null || str.length() == 0)
    return str;
else
    return str.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.substring(1);
Stringcapitalize(String str)
Capitalizes the first letter of str. 
if (str == null) {
    return null;
} else if (str.trim().equals("")) {
    return str;
String result = str.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + str.substring(1, str.length());
return result;
Stringcapitalize(String str)
capitalize 
char[] chars = str.toCharArray();
boolean sentenceStart = true;
for (int i = 0; i < chars.length; i++) {
    char c = chars[i];
    if (sentenceStart) {
        if (c >= 'a' && c <= 'z') {
            chars[i] -= 0x20;
            sentenceStart = false;
...
Stringcapitalize(String str)

Capitalizes all the whitespace separated words in a String. 

int strLen;
if (str == null || (strLen = str.length()) == 0) {
    return str;
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(strLen);
boolean whitespace = true;
for (int i = 0; i < strLen; i++) {
    char ch = str.charAt(i);
...
Stringcapitalize(String str)
capitalize 
if ((null == str) || str.isEmpty()) {
    return str;
final char[] buffer = str.toCharArray();
boolean capitalizeNext = true;
for (int i = 0; i < buffer.length; ++i) {
    final char ch = buffer[i];
    if (Character.isWhitespace(ch)) {
...
Stringcapitalize(String str)
capitalize 
if (isEmpty(str))
    return str;
char[] cs = str.toCharArray();
cs[0] = Character.toUpperCase(cs[0]);
return new String(cs);
Stringcapitalize(String str, char... delimiters)

Capitalizes all the delimiter separated words in a String. 

int delimLen = delimiters == null ? -1 : delimiters.length;
char[] buffer = str.toCharArray();
boolean capitalizeNext = true;
for (int i = 0; i < buffer.length; i++) {
    char ch = buffer[i];
    if (isDelimiter(ch, delimiters)) {
        capitalizeNext = true;
    } else if (capitalizeNext) {
...
Stringcapitalize(String str, char[] wordDelimiters)
Capitalize first letter of each word. 
int strLen = str.length();
StringBuffer buffer = new StringBuffer(strLen);
boolean capitalizeNext = true;
for (int i = 0; i < strLen; i++) {
    char ch = str.charAt(i);
    boolean isDelimiter = false;
    for (int j = 0, isize = wordDelimiters.length; j < isize; j++) {
        if (ch == wordDelimiters[j]) {
...
Stringcapitalize(String str, String delim)
capitalize 
str = str.replaceAll("&", "and");
String[] strings = str.split("[ _]+");
final StringBuilder sb = new StringBuilder();
for (String s : strings) {
    s = s.toLowerCase();
    sb.append(s.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase());
    sb.append(s.substring(1)).append(delim);
sb.deleteCharAt(sb.length() - 1);
return sb.toString();
Stringcapitalize(String str, String delimiter)
capitalize 
String[] parts = str.split("\\s");
StringBuffer res = new StringBuffer();
for (int i = 0, l = parts.length; i < l; i++) {
    if (i > 0)
        res.append(delimiter);
    String part = parts[i];
    res.append(Character.toUpperCase(part.charAt(0)));
    res.append(part, 1, part.length());
