How to make all uppercase in javascript except if string contains '

Question

I have the following string:

A new way's to get home

Output need to be:

A New Way's To Get Home

I try with this code:

var string = "A new way's to get home";

string = string.replace(/\(\d+\)/g, '').trim().replace(': ', ' - ').replace(/\b[a-z]/g,function(f){return f.toUpperCase();});

alert(string);

But i get this:

A New Way'S To Get Home

I need to get all string at begginning to uppercase but here the problem is Way'S because it contains ' and this regex above need to return 's not 'S how i need to rewrite this regex to return correct value?

Convert string to title case with JavaScript is probably what you're looking for. It's called Title Case. Function pasted below for ease of use:

function toTitleCase(str)
{
    return str.replace(/\w\S*/g, function(txt){return txt.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + txt.substr(1).toLowerCase();});
}
