How to capitalize the first word of the sentence in Objective-C?

Question

I\'ve already found how to capitalize all words of the sentence, but not the first word only.

NSString *txt =@\"hi my friends!\"
[txt capitalizedString];

For the sake of having options, I'd suggest:

NSString *myString = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"this is a string..."];

char *tmpStr = calloc([myString length] + 1,sizeof(char));

[myString getCString:tmpStr maxLength:[myString length] + 1 encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

int sIndex = 0;

/* skip non-alpha characters at beginning of string */
while (!isalpha(tmpStr[sIndex])) {
    sIndex++;
}

toupper(tmpStr[sIndex]);

myString = [NSString stringWithCString:tmpStr encoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding];

I'm at work and don't have my Mac to test this on, but if I remember correctly, you couldn't use [myString cStringUsingEncoding:NSUTF8StringEncoding] because it returns a const char *.
