Vim, Cygwin, MySQL & Zsh Tips by zzapper

This could easily be done with Perl but here is a zsh solution

I want to convert a textified string to a Title Case Phrase

> fred-goat-dog.jpg to Fred Goat Dog

% print ${${(Cs:-:):-fred-goat-dog.jpg}%.*}
Fred Goat Dog

This curiously uses a smiley face though
foo=fred-goat-dog.jpg
echo ${(C)foo:gs/-/ /:r} might be more elegant
From the zsh newsgroup (RD&MM)

and to textify a phrase

s=’Fred Goat Dog’
print ${(L)s:gs/ /-/}.jpg
or
print ${(L)s// /-}.jpg
