Hello there!
Is there a nice and simple awk/sed trick to just capitalise a word? I didn't
come up with one so far. I could do it by hand, it's a known set of words, but
it would be nicer with a real word-independent mechanism.
the simplest trick i know of uses tr:
echo word | tr a-z A-Z
the awk equivalent (?) is:
echo word | gawk '{print toupper($0)}'
