   Hi,     When I define the generator, I used to use the same property sometimes capital letter but sometimes lowercase, I want to know how to convert capital letter to lowercase(for example I want to convert 'user' to 'User')?

	You can do that with a translator. Several are already defined in the _translators generator in Graph, and you can use them, learn from them, and add new ones. If you call _translators() at the start of your generator, you can use them, e.g. :MyProperty%lower

	First, Thank you very much, I define a generator like this: to '%upper /^[a-z]/ [A-Z]' endto I want the first lowercase of the property to change to it's corresponding upper letter. It doesn't work, Could you tell me why?

	Search for firstUpper here on the forums, I've just updated the post to show an easy way in 5.0. Your way doesn't work because the left-hand side and right-hand side aren't legal translator syntax: since the left-hand side is a regular expression, the right-hand side would have to be a string, so prefixed by $, not a character range (which wouldn't have [] brackets around it in any case). You can only have a character range on the right if you have a similar-sized set of characters or character range on the left (not a string or regular expression): e.g. a-z A-Z has 26-character ranges on both the left and right.
