Re: st: string_functions "Titlecase"?

[Andrea Bennett <mac.stata@gmail.com>]

I am sorry! I thought the following is called "titlecase": "foreign  
labor integration" --> "Foreign labor integration". Whatever this is  
called, I could not find a string function for this. Is there a  
solution?

Many thanks and sorry for the confusion,

Andrea
