Problem?

So, in rails if you have a name, say name = Jon Rod II, and do name.titleize you get back "Jon Rod Ii". Whatttt?? Ok, so you can't really expect ActiveSupport to take care of everything for you. This script was made specifically to solve this one problem (but may be expanded on!).

Usage

• git clone https://github.com/mikeLspohn/ruby-name-numeral-suffix-parser

require 'parse_name_numeral_suffix'

def SomeClass
  include ParseNameNumeralSuffix

  def full_name(name)
    # in my use case it comes through as name.titleize so "Jon Rod Ii"
    capitalize_name_with_numeral_suffix(name)
  end
end

Todo:

• Shit, this is poorly named
• Test for numerals NOT at end of string (e.g. "The numeral vi stands for something" probably already capitalized though)
