For example, I have a page with a number of paragrahs on a pa

Try:

jQuery('p').each(function(){     
    if(jQuery(this).text().substr(0,1).toUpperCase() == 'B'){
         jQuery(this).addClass('someclass')
    }
   })

You can use PHP to clean the variable and the print it in JS:

Or just grab it with document.location and extract it.
