/^[A-Z]\+\,/s/[A-Z]\+/:%:/g
/^[A-Z]\+,/s/[A-Z]\+/:%:/g
The address in both forms above works in grep to locate the lines,if
enclosed in quotes.
The above all failed, but the following seems to almost work: (It sets
out initail caps with :s)
bob:vc-/0:dict-devil>sed -e '/^[A-Z]\+,/s/[A-Z]\+/:&:/g' devil-test >|devil-out
However, the `,' in the address prevents it from acting on lines such
as `BABE or BABY, n.'.
The following seems to work: (solves the two problems mentioned above)
sed -e '/^[A-Z]\{2,\}/s/[A-Z]\{2,\}/:&:/g' devil-test >|devil-out
The following seems to work, also: (This is the first time I have been
successful using the `named classes of character', eg. [:upper:])
sed -e '/^[[:upper:]]\{2,\}/s/[[:upper:]]\{2,\}/:&:/g' devil-test >|devil-out
