But that means, with my name-reading array code, it becomes
Upper$(Left$(StrAtXYZ( "Array", index x( "Array" )+1, index y( "Array" ), 0), 1))+Right$(StrAtXYZ( "Array", index x( "Array" )+1, index y( "Array" ), 0), Len(StrAtXYZ( "Array", index x( "Array" )+1, index y( "Array" ), 0))-1)
That's for a single word! Making a text-based game will break the expression editor.
EDIT: It sure screwed up TDC's screen

Well, sometimes I want it put in without caps, like say, with the word "sword" (John was a bad example). It would usually be (You pick up a sword), not (You pick up a Sword), but sometimes I want it to be (Sword breaks!), not (sword breaks!). That's what I need the capitalization thingy for.
It makes a huge difference to presentation

Um yeah, that's what I meant. First letter of the first word

Does MMF support the Ucase command? I know with VB you could just put something like Ucase(Left$("NAME",1)) and it'd instantly capitalize it for you. Not sure if MMF does but since VB and MMF share stuff like Mid$, Left$, Right$, Len, etc it might be worth a shot and see if it works Muz.

Doesn't work. The upper$ command does work, but it does it for the whole thing, which is nasty.

What you first suggested is probably one of the few ways to do it. However to make it simpler, load the StrAtXYZ into a temp string and then you only have to apply the alterations to that:
Set Tempstring to StrAtXYZ( "Array", 1,1,1)
Set TempLen to Len(Tempstring)
Set NewString to Upper$(Left$(Tempstring, 1))+Right$(Tempstring, TempLen-1)
Hmm.. that is a good idea. It'd be much easier to do in C++ and such, but that's a good way to do it in MMF2. Thanks!
