[K12OSN] Ot: scripting help

[Peter Scheie]

Here's a quick & dirty perl script that will give you what you describe 
below:

#!/usr/bin/perl -w
#
# Takes a string and changes one character at a time to upper case

$str = shift;
$length = length($str);
@array = split(//,$str);
for ($i=0;$i<$length;$i++) {
   if ($array[$i] =~ /\D/) {
     $array[$i] = uc($array[$i]);
     print @array;
     print "\n";
     $array[$i] = lc($array[$i]);
   }
}

### End of script

This should give you 123Password, 123pAssword, and so on; it only 
changes one character each time, and then changes it back.  So, it won't 
give you 123PAssword, nor 123PASsword, etc.  Put this in a file, make it 
executable, and then pass string that you want to modify as a command 
line parameter, like so:

script 123password
