I recently had to change some text to CamelCase, I searched the forums and while there are discussion on it, I couldn’t come to a solution. I found a Python method, one using an old package called Zebra, the later gave some issues with obsolete packages. Anyhow, long story short, the below is what I ended up with and I thought it might be of some use to others searching how to do this. I have no doubt it can be improved on, there probably is a package or node I didn’t find but it seems to work. ![ChangeToCamelCase](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/c/6/c68bc3da6c4633acea4000625fee44a90593a7af.png) …and as I just exported the above image, I spot on issue where I’m converting everything to lowercase, incl a CamelCase word. ---

Hello a solution with Python (using the same logic) ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/2/2/22fc8a4f31377ea97f881287d001ef359d122cb5.png) ``` var = "text to convert to CamelCase" OUT = ''.join(x[0].upper() + x[1:] for x in var.split(' ')) ``` ---

I found some python code to do it but it never worked for me ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/f/e/fe041c8c5fd91257c27c1e60ed914bee3ee2b1e6.jpeg) “OUT = map(str.title, IN[0])”; How do I get your code to work so it converts an input from a string? ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/d/9/d9fe4f5cd858ddf9450f09d0087dfa9a98601e0f.jpeg) ---

@JoziB Nodes from Rhythm & Designtech package can help as well! ![Capture](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/b/8/b877d582d844df331ac1b317ba3050b887c35489.png) ---

I’m not able to get that to work. I had a problem earlier with Data-Shapes and (I think) the input being a list rather than a string, this looks to be the same. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex022/uploads/dynamobim/original/3X/e/f/ef747a7f4e4ff84423dfaaf872ec9afe0dc8e8cd.jpeg) @AmolShah I have Rythem but I must be on an older version which doesn’t have that node. And un-aware of the designtech package! I’ll download/update my packages! ---

I had a problem earlier with Data-Shapes and (I think) the input being a list rather than a string, this looks to be the same. try this if you want a string at the output ``` import clr import sys toSingle = lambda x : x[0] if isinstance(x, list) else x input = toSingle(IN[0]) OUT = ''.join(x[0].upper() + x[1:] for x in input.split(' ')) ``` **or** if you want a list at the output ``` import clr import sys toList = lambda x : x if isinstance(x, list) else [x] inputLst = toList(IN[0]) out = [] for lst in inputLst: out.append(''.join(x[0].upper() + x[1:] for x in lst.split(' '))) OUT = out ``` ---

Thanks, both of those worked for me in the script! I was able to cut out everything in my first post 😂
