Hello there!
Is there a nice and simple awk/sed trick to just capitalise a word? I didn't
come up with one so far. I could do it by hand, it's a known set of words, but
it would be nicer with a real word-independent mechanism.
Kindest regards

Hi Julien,
People usually use tr for that:
$ echo foo | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
FOO

i believe he meant capitalize as in "foo" -> "Foo" which is an order of
magnitude harder. i don't believe that sed can do it. perl probably can.

It can, e.g.
$ echo hello | perl -pe 's/(.*)/\u$1\e/'

I was forgetting there's also a function for this, you don't have to
use the rather opaque substitution syntax:
$ echo hello | perl -e 'print ucfirst <>'

Hi!
Thank you all! I managed. there is something I didn't think of, which is,
that you can output only part of shell-variables. Now it looks like this:
VAR="Monday"
tmp_first=`echo "${VAR:0:1}" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'`
tmp_rest=`echo "${VAR:1}"
tmp_rest_short=`echo "${VAR:1:2}"`
var_long="$tmp_first$t

While you are at it, could you explain that last sentence once more for
those in the audience that did not get it

You never mentioned the forward slash in our tent camp. Is i it so that
everybody else - that is important, knows the meaning of s/junk/gold ?

The '/' is a vi(m) thing. If you belong to the wrong editor-religion i.e.
emacs, you might not know. Me not being one of the emacsuns I don't know if
you have it. :-)

Well, Bill Gates comes to mind. But then that's not entirely fair or
true, is it?
Be good, Wolfgang

like this: ?
python -c "print 'monday'[:3].capitalize()"
with use of stdin:
