Capitalizing first letter in each line of a string

Ruby
1

Hi,
Im in need of capitalizing first letter of each line in a long string,
and have
it print exactly the same (but with the first word capitalized+with the
whitespace)… but cant figure it out… any advise?

taco= <<-HERE
to bad I hate tacos theytaste great…
so much for a HEALTHY diet…

HERE

taco.scan(/\W+.\w+./){|x| print x.capitalize}

im guessing my regular expression is wrong. and possibly the .capitalize
is in
the wrong space?
sorry im a newbie :slight_smile:
thanks
rich

Here you are:

taco = <<-HERE
to bad I hate tacos they taste great…

HERE

p taco.gsub(/^(\W*?[a-z])/) { |m| m.upcase }
