STRCASE - Convert String to UPPER / lower Case


The Convert String to UPPER / lower Case (STRCASE) instruction will convert each alphabetic character in a string to the specified case if that character has an equivalent in that case. If no such conversion is possible the character is unchanged.

 

 

An uppercase letter is any of: A B C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z, which translate respectively to: a b c d e f g h i j k l m n o p q r s t u v w x y z.

Input / Output String - the String that contains the text to be converted. This can be any writable String element (but not a String LiteralClosed Zero or more characters enclosed in double quotes, as in "hello", and may include both simple escape sequences (such as \t for the tab character) and hexadecimal data (such as 0xAA).).

 

Convert to - selects which of the conversions to apply to the contents of the string.

 

  • all lower case - converts all uppercase alphabetic characters in the string to their lowercase equivalents.

     

  • ALL UPPER CASE - converts all lowercase alphabetic characters in the string to their uppercase equivalents.
