Python program to capitalize the first letter of every word in the file

The following article contains programs to read a file and capitalize the first letter of every word in the file and print it as output. To capitalize the first letter we will use different methods using Python. The Python String Method is used to convert the first character in each word to Uppercase and the remaining characters to Lowercase in the string and return the new string.

Examples:

Input: hello world
Output: Hello World

Input text:

temp.txt

Method 1:  Capitalize First Letter in Python using title()

Here, we are using the Python loop, and with the help of the title() function to capitalize each word.

Python3

file_gfg = open('temp.txt', 'r')

for line in file_gfg:
    output = line.title()
    print(output)

Output:

Mango Banana Apple Pear Banana Grapes Strawberry Apple Pear Mango Banana Kiwi Apple Mango Strawberry

Method 2:  Capitalize First Letter in Python using capitalize()

Here, we are using the Python loop, and with the help of the capitalize() function to capitalize each word.

Python3

result = ""
file_gfg = open('temp.txt', 'r')
for line in file_gfg:
    g = line.split()
    for elem in g:
        # capitalize first letter of each word and add to a string
        if len(result) > 0:
            result = result + " " + elem.strip().capitalize()
        else:
            result = elem.capitalize()

print(result)

Output:

Mango Banana Apple Pear Banana Grapes Strawberry Apple Pear Mango Banana Kiwi Apple Mango Strawberry

Method 3:  Capitalize First Letter in Python using capwords()

Here, we are using the Python loop, and with the help of the capwords() function to capitalize each word.

Python3

import string

result1 = ""
file_gfg = open('temp.txt', 'r')
for line in file_gfg:
    g = line.split()
    for elem in g:
        # capitalize first letter of each word and add to a string
        if len(result1) > 0:
            result1 = result1 + " " + string.capwords(elem)
        else:
            result1 = string.capwords(elem)

print(result1)

Output:

Mango Banana Apple Pear Banana Grapes Strawberry Apple Pear Mango Banana Kiwi Apple Mango Strawberry

Method 4:  Capitalize First Letter in Python using regex

Here, we are using the Python loop, and with the help of the regex to capitalize each word.

Python3

import re
def convert_to_uupercase(m):
    return m.group(1) + m.group(2).upper()

result = ""
file_gfg = open('temp.txt', 'r')
for line in file_gfg:
    g = line.split()
    for elem in g:
        # capitalize first letter of each word and add to a string
        if len(result) > 0:
            result = result + re.sub("(^|\s)(\S)", convert_to_uupercase, elem) + " "
        else:
            result = re.sub("(^|\s)(\S)", convert_to_uupercase, elem)

print(result)

Output:

Mango Banana Apple Pear Banana Grapes Strawberry Apple Pear Mango Banana Kiwi Apple Mango Strawberry
