Basically I want to preserve the case in the words
At least:
-the first letter in the entire keyword
-first letter after the -
-first letter of the extension
right now i'm writing the second keyword in lowercase in the see command but i want to keep it as the same case as the original. sometimes occurrences are the beginning of a sentence, some occurrences are not. if it is, i want to also be capitalised upon replacing

actually i have another problem
I'm doing something like
but the problem is that this only replaces the specific case of "$BEFORE"
how can i make it case insensitive?
thanks

Okay, so this is what I'm trying now
blognamebefore = (i put in a sql command to grab the blog name)
This can be anything like "afdsdsfasdf BEFORE fafdsadffdsds"
then I'm trying to run a sed command that does a replace of the BEFORE keyword to the AFTER keyword
sed 's!${BEFORE}!${AFTER}!gI'
I want to preserve the case of the BEFORE word, at least the first letter would be good
how can I do this?
when I run the sed command, it changes the keyword into all lowercase letters
and I don't want to do this especially in the title

I think I managed something for now
I googled about how to use sed to capitalise the first letter of a word
then use that as my new keyword
Your examples are unclear. It seems to me you asked for the ability to convert all characters to lowercase, except the first letter of each "word" is preserved. But your examples show the trivial case.
It seems to me this problem is too complex for sed/awk (without hard-coding the before/after values for each case). I think perl has an elegant solution:
Before:
After:
If you want to add your extension-appending code, it's pretty trivial to do that in perl. First, make sure this code will work for you.
