You have the following commands also:
uc Upper Case all within variable
ucfirst Upper case first character
lc Lower case whole variable
lcfirst Lower case first character
example:
my $MyVar = 'george';
printf "%-s\n", uc($MyVar);
printf "%-s\n", ucfirst($MyVar);
Output:
GEORGE
George

Subject: regular expressions
Hello All,
how can i convert only the first letter of each word
in a string without changing any other characters?
Is this a job for regular expressions?
For example, convert:
FROM: "hello world. goodbye cruel world"
TO: "Hello World. Goodbye Cruel World"
any help is appreciated.
