Then, use sub function along with mutate function of dplyr package to convert first letter into capital in string column.
Example
Create the data.table object
Let’s create a data.table object as shown below −
library(data.table) Names<- sample(c("rahul","rosy","hidayah","seema","john","sarbat","shaun","sam","teena","ila","kunal","sudha","anil","yukti","jerry","tom"),25,replace=TRUE) DT<-data.table(Names) DT

Convert first letter into Capital
Using sub function along with mutate function of dplyr package to convert first letter into capital in Names column −
library(data.table) Names<- sample(c("rahul","rosy","hidayah","seema","john","sarbat","shaun","sam","teena","ila","kunal","sudha","anil","yukti","jerry","tom"),25,replace=TRUE) DT<-data.table(Names) library(dplyr) DT %>% mutate(Names=sub("(.)","\U\1",DT$Names,perl=TRUE))
Output
Names 1: Teena 2: Teena 3: Seema 4: Shaun 5: Shaun 6: Hidayah 7: Rosy 8: Kunal 9: Tom 10: Shaun 11: Ila 12: Rahul 13: Sam 14: Rahul 15: Teena 16: Jerry 17: Yukti 18: Rosy 19: Anil 20: Hidayah 21: Shaun 22: Seema 23: Sudha 24: Sam 25: Anil Names
