How to capitalize first word of a string?

Sure, that's a good way. A little-known feature of "split" is the
"limit" parameter, so you can split off just the first word without
affecting anything else:

arr = s.split(" ", 2)
arr[0].upcase! # and anything else you feel like
s = arr.join(" ")

m.

Thanks for taking time to reply. much appreciated.

Is there any way, I can capitalize the string and simultaneously convert
the first word to bold.

right now, i am splitting

str.split(/\s+/).each{ |word| word.capitalize! } then upcase of str[0]
and then str.each{ |word| }.join(' ')
