I have a sed script (all-caps-to-mixed.sed) that apparently worked some years ago but isn't working today. I'd appreciate learning how to fix it.
The script: #!/usr/bin/sed # # usage: sed -rf all-caps-to-mixed.sed < inputfile > outputfile # Change from all uppercase words to mixed case. # s/([A-Z])([A-Z]*)/\1\L\2/g Here're some test lines; I included different string formats: '1983-074','AQ Permitting','CR','MID-OREGON CRUSHING CO., INC.','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment','','8/26/1983','4500' '1984-001','WQ Permitting','WR','VANDERVELDE, ROY','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment',' WQ','5/23/1984','2500' '1987-027','WQ Permitting','WQ','MERIT USA, INC. (BRIGGS/INDUSTRIAL OIL/FUEL PROCE)','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment',' WQ','5/28/1987','3500' '1988-017','Open Burning','SWR','JONES, BILLY AND LADAKE, ROBERT','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment','','2/18/1988','500' '1988-031','Asbestos','NWR','LABENSKE, BILL R. JR.','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment','','6/12/1988','0' '1989-041','','SW','THOMAS, DONN, AKA/DONN BEAM; SCHULTZ, RICHARD;,ANN','','Notice of Civil Penalty Assessment','','2/23/1989','0' While some uppercase strings should be that way, e.g. USA, those are easily repaied with emacs search-and-replace. It's the longer strings in multi-thousand line files that I want to modify.
