By the way, since you were using gawk, GNU sed can do this:
Code:
sed 's/\b./\u&/g' infile

It does seem to work with Détente as does this perl:
Code:
perl -pe 's/\b[[:alpha:]]/\u$&/g' infile

and this GNU sed:
Code:
sed 's/\b[[:alpha:]]/\u&/g' infile

srutinizer your awk line doesn't work with d'Alpisme

it would be useful to the awk word match \w to create a Filed separator FS.

Correct that only works with space separation, but at that point it wasn't clear that you were going to transform French Smilie
