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
Oh my god :)
This one is ugly too but, while we're at it, what the hell:
echo "monday" | cut -b -3 | sed 's/\(^.\)/\U\1/'
