下面是“原生”文本工具的使用方法:

#!/bin/bash

string="abcd"
first=`echo $string|cut -c1|tr [a-z] [A-Z]`
second=`echo $string|cut -c2-`
echo $first$second

这个对我很有用:

搜索当前目录下的所有*php文件，并将每个文件名的第一个字符替换为大写字母:

例如:test.php => test.php

for f in *php ; do mv "$f" "$(\sed 's/.*/\u&/' <<< "$f")" ; done

仅使用awk

foo="uNcapItalizedstrIng"
echo $foo | awk '{print toupper(substr($0,0,1))tolower(substr($0,2))}'

虽然不是我要求的，但很有帮助

declare -u foo #When the variable is assigned a value, all lower-case characters are converted to upper-case.

foo=bar
echo $foo
BAR

反之亦然

declare -l foo #When the variable is assigned a value, all upper-case characters are converted to lower-case.

foo=BAR
echo $foo
bar

Linux和OSX的另一种干净的解决方案，它也可以与bash变量一起使用

python -c "print(\"abc\".capitalize())"
