Re: Lower casing letters of words

Hello, Thanks for your response. Was this meant to go in a script? I
created a script

#!/bin/ksh

while read -C -a array; do
array[3]=`echo ${array[2]} | perl -pi -e 's/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g'
myfile.txt`
array[4]=`echo ${array[4]} | perl -pi -e 's/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g'
myfile.txt`
array[5]=`echo ${array[5]} | perl -pi -e 's/(\w+)/\u\L$1/g'
myfile.txt`
echo "${array[*]|,,}"
done

Then I ran

../temp.sh

but got the error

../temp.sh[3]: read: bad option(s)

What am I doing incorrectly? Thanks, - Dave
