NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD

into

Nelson Arispe, Eduardo Rojas, and Harvey B. Pollard

Here is what I came up with so far:

  echo "NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD" | sed
's/\([A-Z]\)\([A-Z]+\)/\1\L\2/g'

not work.

Thanks with best regards,


First off, I'm no expert on sed, however the following seems to work

echo "NELSON ARISPE, EDUARDO ROJAS, AND HARVEY B. POLLARD" | sed 's/\([A-Z]\)\([A-Z]*[^A-Z]*\)/\1\L\2/g'
