Say what?
Yes, you could do a crazy regex at the Linux prompt. But... will you be able
to retain that insane syntax in your head until the NEXT time you need to write

Unicode has two 'capital' concepts: 'uppercase' and 'titlecase'. They
are the same for latin chars but not for all alphabets.

Alternatively, if you want to remove only the line separator,
you could do:
if line.endswith(linesep):
line = line[:-len(linesep)]
The 'if' command is only necessary for the last line, which may or
may not end in a linesep.

OK! The bug one fixed. Thanks to Andreas Perstinger.
Let's move to Bug #2:
2. How do I escape the words that are already in uppercase? For example:
The input file has this:
NASA
The script changes this to:
Nasa
Is it possible to make this script look at a word, see if its first
character is ca

Yeah, my bad, I somehow used to do it, for grep too, and I know that
this is slower

I would still go with regexp, something like:

First or all? If first and this is the only purpose of the script you
can easily use sed:
less file.txt | sed -e "s/\b\([a-z]\{4,\}\)/\u\1/g"

The last element in your "words" list will still have a newline

Here is the script I am using:
from os import linesep
from string import punctuation
from sys import argv
script, givenfile = argv
with open(givenfile) as file:
# List to store the capitalised lines.
lines = []
for line in file:

words = line.s
