how do I convert the first letter of each of the below from upper case to lowere case?

For example SentMessage would become sentMessage and NotAttemptedCreditLimitReached would become notAttemptedCreditLimitReached ... etc

list of words below. They are just in a text file.

DeliverySucceeded
DeliveryFailed
DeliveryTimedOut

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
