I'm not sure how to use regular expressions in a function so that I could grab all the words in a sentence starting with a particular letter. I know that I can do:

Using Python, I'm trying to convert a sentence of words into a flat list of all distinct letters in that sentence.
Here's my current code:

Set([letter.lower() for letter in words if letter != ' '])
Edit : I just tried it and found in words if letter != ' ')

This line should do it:
sed -e "s/\b\(.\)/\u\1/g"
# awk '{for(i=1;i<=NF;i++){ $i=toupper(substr($i,1,1)) substr($i,2) }}1' file Trouble Me Gold Rush Brides .

F X I E A M L O E W B X A S T U

Also, slightly off-topic, but is there any difference a "curse word" and a "swear word"? We tend to use them interchangeably, but I was...

Quote: : pays Alan, I don't think you get the idea of this. You are supposed to change one letter to make another, not find an anagram of the previous word.
