Regular Expression to Change Uppercase Text to Lowercase
-
You are probably better off using one of the many methods available with the String type. But since you have not identified which language you are using, that is something of a guess.
Hi, Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for not mentioning the language. The language is JAVA 8

In C# (for example) there is no "proper case": one changes to "lower case", then uses "title case". [TextInfo.ToTitleCase(String) Method (System.Globalization) | Microsoft Docs](https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.globalization.textinfo.totitlecase?view=net-5.0)

Converts the specified string to title case (except for words that are entirely in uppercase, which are considered to be acronyms).

The String class has nothing to do with Regexes. You use it to quickly convert all characters to lower case. You can then find some method to capitalise the first letter of each word.

I have a better idea. Think about what you are trying to do and work out which methods are likely to help you. You will learn far more by trying things yourself.
ok, I will think of something. I will post it. Hopefully, you'll let me know if I'm on the right track

I'm never going to figure it out! Can I get some hints on a solution?
