[LAD] [ot] capitalising words in a shell-script

[Julien Claassen]

Hi!
   Thank you all! I managed. there is something I didn't think of, which is, 
that you can output only part of shell-variables. Now it looks like this:
VAR="Monday"
tmp_first=`echo "${VAR:0:1}" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'`
tmp_rest=`echo "${VAR:1}"
tmp_rest_short=`echo "${VAR:1:2}"`
var_long="$tmp_first$tmp_rest"
var_short="$tmp_first$tmp_rest_short"
echo "$var_long var_short"
Monday Mon
   Splendid!
   Thanks again for the tr-hint, that brought me onto it.
   Kindest regards
           Julien
