Capital Letter and a full-stop

By zexx0r on Feb 11, 2009

well, some of the guys that I know just love typing in a "proper" way,
so they would type with the first capital letter and the full-stop at the end,
and so I thought it would be interesting to make life easier :P

#cl on

on *:input:#: {
  if ($left($1,1) == /) { return }
  if ($istok(? ! .,$right($1-,1),32)) { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) }
  else { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) $+ $chr(46) }
}

#cl end

menu * {
  .CLP [capital letter - point]
  ..on:enable #cl
  ..off:disable #cl
}

Is there a way to bypass it without deleting the other scripts?

3 and a half years is past my recollection point. You'll have to fully explain what you mean to me.

It's a nifty script to automatically capitalize the first word of a sentence and insert a period at the end. But it would be better if it could recognize a question phrase and put a question mark at the end, instead of a period.

Let's say if you typed a simple word why and didn't put a question mark, the script would put a period there, which would not be a good thing.

What, do, did, how, why, where, when, who, can, could, should and might are the common ones to start a question phrase. They are the words to watch out for. This also applies to the exclamation mark.

''Proper'' typing on the internet?..does that even exist, anyways not to bad for one of your first snipps. Suggest you take Scakks suggestion learn from it as well, looks useful though so 7/10.

Here you go.

on *:input:#: {
  if ($left($1,1) == /) { return }
  if ($istok(? ! .,$right($1-,1),32)) { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) }
  else { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) $+ $chr(46) }
}

I typed --> testing this out.
It gave --> Testing this out.. <-- two periods

I typed --> testing this out!
It gave --> Testing this out!. <-- exclimation point & period

I typed --> testing ? this out
It gave --> Testing ? this out <-- no period

elseif (? isin $1-) { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) }

Above does not add a period to the end and it allows the questionmark to be anywhere in the sentence(s).

else { haltdef | msg $chan $upper($left($1,1)) $+ $right($1-,-1) $+ $chr(46) }

Above allows you to have double period at the end ( .. ) or an exclimation point and then a period ( !. )
