Sorry a bit off-topic, but I am stuck with how to tr

NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD
into
Nelson Arispe, Eduardo Rojas, and Harvey B. Pollard
Here is what I came up with so far:
echo "NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD" | sed
's/\([A-Z]\)\([A-Z]+\)/\1\L\2/g'
not work.
Thanks with best regards,
Coursework, Lina? You were nearly there :)
The "+" form for one or more characters is not supported by sed. This
works :
sed 's/\([A-Z]\)\([A-Z]*\)/\1\L\2/g'
You can sort out the problem with AND for yourself!
Hmm, actually, this is better:
sed 's/\([A-Z]\)\([A-Z]\{1,\}\)/\1\L\2/g'
