I tried this but did not get good results.  I found that the whole word
was being capitalized, not just the first letter.  Am I missing
something?

Boy, there's nothing like reading your own mail!  The example should show 

id1, xl2,
rs4, a

becoming

Id1, Xl2,
Rs4, A

rather than the meaningless set of values I used.

Sorry and Thanks,

Beirne

First character of selected space

[hc05]

I have a set of C identifiers for which I would like to make the first
letter capital, through a pipe to tr.  The problem is selecting the
first character from the currently selected text, so I can pipe on it.
As an example, I want to take

id1, xl2,
rs4, a

and turn them into 

Id1, Il2,
Is4, A


Is there a way to select the first character of each identifier so I
can pipe it to tr "[a-z]" "[A-Z]"?

Thanks,

Beirne
