how to find capital letter names in a file without finding words at start of sentence
Hi,
I want to be able to list all the names in a file which begin with a capital letter, but I don't want it to list words that begin a new sentence. Is there any way round this?
Thanks for your help.

Hi,
I need to replace, as the title says, the first letter of each line (when it's not a number) by the same letter, but capital.
For instance :
hello
Who
123pass
Would become :
Hello
Who
123pass
Is there a way with sed to do that ? Or other unix command ?
Thank you :) (7 Replies)

style(1) General Commands Manual style(1)
Name
style - analyze surface characteristics of a document
Syntax
style [-ml] [-mm] [-a] [-e] [-l num] [-r num] [-p] [-P] file...
Description
The command analyzes the surface characteristics of the writing style of a document. It reports on readability, sentence length and struc-
ture, word length and usage, verb type, and sentence openers. Because runs before looking at the text, formatting header files should be
included as part of the input. The default macro package -ms may be overridden with the flag -mm. The flag -ml, which causes to skip
lists, should be used if the document contains many lists of non-sentences. The other options are used to locate sentences with certain
characteristics.
Options
-a Displays all sentences with their length and readability index.
-e Displays all sentences that begin with an expletive.
-l num
Displays all sentences longer than num.
-ml
Skips lists in document.
-mm
Overrides the default macro package -ms.
-P Displays parts of speech of the words in the document.
-p Displays all sentences that contain a passive verb.
-r num
Displays all sentences whose readability index is greater than num.
Restrictions
Use of non-standard formatting macros may cause incorrect sentence breaks.
