Thanks, but it seems slower than using "split"/"join":

Benchmark.realtime {   "accept-asdasd-qweqwe".split('-').map {|w| 
w.capitalize}.join('-')   }
=> 3.09944152832031e-05

Benchmark.realtime {   "accept-asdasd-qweqwe".gsub!(/((^|-).)/) { 
$1.upcase }   }
=> 3.60012054443359e-05

Good response :)

ok, I'll keep this as an alternative ;)

Thanks a lot.
