Shell Programming and Scripting

With two shell functions...

Code:

_capword()
{
  case $1 in
    a*) _CAPWORD=A${1#?};; b*) _CAPWORD=B${1#?};;
    c*) _CAPWORD=C${1#?};; d*) _CAPWORD=D${1#?};;
    e*) _CAPWORD=E${1#?};; f*) _CAPWORD=F${1#?};;
    g*) _CAPWORD=G${1#?};; h*) _CAPWORD=H${1#?};;
    i*) _CAPWORD=I${1#?};; j*) _CAPWORD=J${1#?};;
    k*) _CAPWORD=K${1#?};; l*) _CAPWORD=L${1#?};;
    m*) _CAPWORD=M${1#?};; n*) _CAPWORD=N${1#?};;
    o*) _CAPWORD=O${1#?};; p*) _CAPWORD=P${1#?};;
    q*) _CAPWORD=Q${1#?};; r*) _CAPWORD=R${1#?};;
    s*) _CAPWORD=S${1#?};; t*) _CAPWORD=T${1#?};;
    u*) _CAPWORD=U${1#?};; v*) _CAPWORD=V${1#?};;
    w*) _CAPWORD=W${1#?};; x*) _CAPWORD=X${1#?};;
    y*) _CAPWORD=Y${1#?};; z*) _CAPWORD=Z${1#?};;
    *)  _CAPWORD=$1 ;;
  esac
}

_cap_phrase()
{
   _PHRASE="$* "
   _CAP_PHRASE=
   while [ -n "$_PHRASE" ]
   do
     _TEMP=${_PHRASE#* }
     _capword "${_PHRASE%"$_TEMP"}"
     _CAP_PHRASE="$_CAP_PHRASE$_CAPWORD"
     _PHRASE=$_TEMP
   done
   _CAP_PHRASE=${_CAP_PHRASE% }
}

...the script is simple:

Code:

title="<title>hi man: check this out</title>"

## Strip HTML tags
title=${title#*>}
title="${title%<*}"

_cap_phrase "$title"
captitle="<title>${_CAP_PHRASE% }</title>"

printf "%s\n" "$captitle"
