Subject: st: How to convert string into lower case except the first letter
Dear all,
I would like to convert a string variable into lower case except the first
letter. That is:
from ARGENTINA to Argentina
from BELGIUM to Belgium
....
Using "lower" converts every letter into lower case: gen
cntry=lower(country)
country
ARGENTINA
BELGIUM
....
Thank you in advance.
Mike.
