How to uppercase the first letter of a string that follows a line break?

Question

I have a long text that contains multiple paragraphs. It is stored in one variable.

I need to uppercase the first letter every word that follows a line break (or a period).

What is the most simple way to do that?

Answer 1

I suppose you could split your text using as separator character \n. So the code should look like this:

output = []

for x in longString.split("\n"):
    try:
        x = x[0].upper() + x[1:]
    except:
        pass
    output.append(x)

outputString = "\n".join(output)

With this approach you will be able to upper case the first letter after a line break. You can follow a similar approach for period.

Let me know if this helps! :D
