vi question on uppercase translation 3

[SirCharles]

How do you translate characters to upper-case in vi?

 

[Ygor]

The tilde (~) switches the case of the character under the cursor.

Or to uppercase a large number of lines from, say, the current line to the end of the file, use

.,$s/.*/\U&/

or all lines in the file

%s/.*/\U&/

Thanks guys. Great response.
To just capitalize one word, it looks like this works:
.s/[^ ]* /\U&/

 

[CaKiwi]

or, slightly simpler

s/[^ ]*/\U&/
