DeliveryFailed
DeliveryTimedOut
NotAttemptedCreditLimitReached
NotAttemptedChargingFailure

Was looking at doing it notepadd++ initially, but open to other suggestions bash/python ... etc


EDIT1 - the solution

$ cat testw
SentMessage
DeliverySucceeded
DeliveryFailed
DeliveryTimedOut
NotAttemptedCreditLimitReached
NotAttemptedChargingFailure
SubscriptionFailed
SentReportSMDeliveryStatus
FailedToSendReportSMDeliveryStatus
ReportSMSucceeded
ReportSMFailed
$ sed -i 's/[A-Z]/\L&/' testw
$ cat testw
sentMessage
deliverySucceeded
deliveryFailed
deliveryTimedOut
notAttemptedCreditLimitReached
notAttemptedChargingFailure
subscriptionFailed
sentReportSMDeliveryStatus
failedToSendReportSMDeliveryStatus
reportSMSucceeded
reportSMFailed
Answer

If you have gnu sed then use:

sed -i 's/[A-Z]/\L&/' file
  • [A-Z] will match first upper case letter
  • & is back-reference of matched string by pattern (in this case single upper case letter)
  • \L converts given back-reference to lowercase
