I don't think you need to do regex here. I don't have a perl machine here
right now so I can just give you pointers:

use "split" to get the separate words into strings, then go trough those
strings and do

ucfirst $string;

this will return you the string with first letter uppercased and put them
together again.

Hope this helps,

Joni

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.
