Alternative to transform utility?

[jonteamere]

I like the idea of transforming inputs before passing them to a script.

 

Is there a way to capitalize the first letter of a input AND add a period if one does not exist (prior to passing to script)? It would be similar to using the transform utility. I don't see an option for sentence capitalization.

 

I use Alfred to append notes from OS X selections. Sometimes the selections begin with a lowercase character &/or is not punctuated.

 

Any solutions?

Looks like the Replace Utility in Alfred can’t do the necessary regex transformations. But you can do it via a bash Run Script with perl -pe 's/^(.)(.*?)\.?$/\U\1\E\2./' <<< "${1}".
