Greetings -
I am looking to translate a string value as follows:
fooBarJones to
FOO_BAR_JONES.
Basically inserting an underscore before any and all Uppercase characters
and then translating the result to upper case.
My initial approach was to replace all of the uppercase characters in the
original string with a special character. I would then use a combination of
substring-before and substring (against the original string) to replace the
special character with the underscore and the original character. But I
cannot find a function that I can use to return the index-of the special
character to send into the substring function.
I would appreciate any insight into how to get the index of a character
within a string or any alternative solutions to the problem.
Thanks - Gary Bartlett
