Here's one I did a while ago: http://cflib.org/udf.cfm?id=889&enable=1

You get to determine what first letter should be uppercased based on a list
of delimiters.

There was two versions of this, one was more long winded because of a bug
with ListSetAt(). I forget the details.

Not RegEx I know, just a little self promotion :OD

I think it is called CapFirst.

You could do every other word (the first word in every pair) but if
you're not careful, you'll end up capitalizing "and".

It might be more accurate just to build a replace list like
"one, two, three....eighty, ninety"
and replace with the capitalized versions.
