Want to make String LowerCase where first char should remain UpperCase

[vwab]

Hi Friends let say
String aa="BATCHLOR";
I want this String in following format:

String bb="Batchlor";
Can anybody suggeset me how to do it

Have a look at the API documentation of the String class. It contains a lot of methods that you could use to do this. Try something out yourself, it's not a difficult problem.

The following code will do that

public class Test { 
 
public static void main (String... args) { 
 
String aa="BATCHLOR";
 
String bb = aa.substring(0,1) +  aa.substring(1,aa.length()).toLowerCase(); 
 
System.out.println(bb); 
 
} 
 
}
 

Personally I think this is not a intermediate question.

I was just thinking, can it be done using String.format()?

I think no... but still am not sure as not worked much with Formatter

Remko, did you read the message above the JavaRanch forum overview:

"We're all here to learn, so when responding to others, please focus on helping them discover their own solutions, instead of simply providing answers."

The OP would have learned more if you'd let him figure it out for himself - that's why I didn't give him the answer to this simple question, just a hint about where to look.
