Hi
I want to convert a textified string to a Title Case Phrase
eg
fred-goat-dog.jpg to Fred Goat Dog
My first timid effort
echo "fred-goat-dog.jpg" | sed 's/-/ /g' | sed 's/\.jpg//'
Perl would do this with ease but is there a zsh solution (of course there
is!)

Yeah, there is:
% foo='fred-goat-dog.jpg'
% print ${(C)${foo:r}//-/ }
Fred Goat Dog
