[SOLVED] Count uppercase characters in a word

Issue

I need to count how many uppercase letters there are in a word. How can I do this?

Solution

I like tr for this:

echo "$word" | tr -dc A-Z | wc -c

simply delete all characters that are not uppercase and count what is left.

You might prefer tr -dc [:upper:], but I find A-Z easier to use.
