LOWER(SEXP) (STRING)
Function
Converts uppercase characters in a string to lowercase.
Syntax
LOWER(sexp)
sexp = Any string expression.
Return Type & Value
STRING
Returns sexp with all uppercase characters converted to lowercase.
Remarks
Although "STRING" is technically different from "string" (ie, the
computer doesn't recognize them as being the same because one is
uppercase and the other is lowercase), it is often necessary to save,
display or compare information in a case insensitive format. This
function will return a string with all uppercase characters converted
to lowercase. So, using the above example, LOWER("STRING") would return
"string".
Examples
STRING s
WHILE (UPPER(s) <> "QUIT") DO
INPUT "Text",s
PRINTLN LOWER(s)
ENDWHILE
