The following works in ksh93 and should also work in bash.

Code:

#!/usr/bin/ksh93

while read str num
do
   strU=${str//[^A-Z]}
   print "${str} ${#strU}"
done < file

On your sample file, it produces the following output

Code:

aabbccddDDCCDDCCaabbcc 8
CCaaCCBBCCaaaaaaaCCCaa 11
CCDDCCAACCCCccccccccaa 12
