Hello,

I'm getting a list of names and it is formatted last name, first name all in caps. Dose any one know of an easer way you convert this list correctly (first name, last name with the proper caps) with out typing all the names again?

Here is a Java program that does it, capitalization issues and all.

If you don't know how to compile it, PM me and I can send you a compiled file.

If you can import the list in Excel or if you already have it in Excel, use the formulae "Proper" "Upper" "Lower". So for example if you have "JOHN DOE" in cell A2 and you want to convert it to proper case which is "John Doe", then type in this in an empty cell "= Proper(A2)" and that cell will convert the name into Proper Case.

BTW, welcome to Anandtech ;)

This sounds more like what you wanted. Just copy the names into a text file.
