Convert first character of each word to upper case
Hi,

Is there any function(Bash) out there that can convert the first character of each word to upper case? [IMG]file:///C:/Users/ADMINI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-2.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/ADMINI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-3.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/ADMINI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot.png[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/Users/ADMINI%7E1/AppData/Local/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.png[/IMG]

Similar to php function Eg :
$foo = "hello world!";
$foo = ucwords($foo); //Hello Word


Manage to Google out this example :

first=`echo "hello world place"|nawk '{print substr($1,1,1)}'|tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'`

however it only will display "Hello". Rest of the word are truncated. May I know what went wrong in the coding?

Thank you for the help in advance.
