String Manipulation Help

Hey Guys,

Right i know how to alter a word to begin with a capital letter, i know how to remove unwanted characters and replace them with the relevant character however i don't now if there is a way to do them all in one line.

Code:

echo -n ${string:0:1} | tr a-z A-Z #convert first letter in string to cap
echo ${string:1} # to remove first char & replace with cap from above
echo ${string/<char>/<char>} # to replace a character

What i would like to know, is there a way i can Join the second statement with the first .. So i can begin at the string from the second letter and at the same time omit unwanted characters.

Thanks in advance!
