google
cnn

My first thought was sed 'y/^/^/', but it changed all the characters, not just the first character.
any thoughts? (7 Replies)

Hi All,
After reading that the sort command in Linux can be made to use many processor cores just by using a simple script which I found on the internet, I was wondering if I can use similar techniques for programs like the awk and sed?

TOWUPPER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TOWUPPER(3)NAME
towupper, towupper_l - convert a wide character to uppercase
SYNOPSIS
#include <wctype.h>
wint_t towupper(wint_t wc);
wint_t towupper_l(wint_t wc, locale_t locale);
Feature Test Macro Requirements for glibc (see feature_test_macros(7)):
towupper_l():
Since glibc 2.10:
_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700
Before glibc 2.10:
_GNU_SOURCE
DESCRIPTION
The towupper() function is the wide-character equivalent of the toupper(3) function. If wc is a lowercase wide character, and there exists
an uppercase equivalent in the current locale, it returns the uppercase equivalent of wc. In all other cases, wc is returned unchanged.
The towupper_l() function performs the same task, but performs the conversion based on the character type information in the locale speci-
fied by locale. The behavior of towupper_l() is undefined if locale is the special locale object LC_GLOBAL_LOCALE (see duplocale(3)) or is
not a valid locale object handle.
The argument wc must be representable as a wchar_t and be a valid character in the locale or be the value WEOF.
RETURN VALUE
If wc was convertible to uppercase, towupper() returns its uppercase equivalent; otherwise it returns wc.
VERSIONS
The towupper_l() function first appeared in glibc 2.3.

CONFORMING TO
towupper(): C99, POSIX.1-2001 (XSI); present as an XSI extension in POSIX.1-2008, but marked obsolete.
towupper_l(): POSIX.1-2008.
NOTES
The behavior of these functions depends on the LC_CTYPE category of the locale.
These functions are not very appropriate for dealing with Unicode characters, because Unicode knows about three cases: upper, lower and
title case.
