 Unix Tip #4434- May  2, 2025
 
ANOTHER CASE TRANSLATION  
  
If you have occasion where  
you need to translate upper  
case to lower and vice  
versa, and happen to run a  
ksh, enter the following  
functions into your .profile:  
  
function trans  
{  
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < $1 > $2  
}  
function TRANS  
{  
tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' <$1 > $2  
}  
  
  
The first function will  
translate all uppercase  
letters in the first file  
(argument) to lowercase in  
the second file.  
  
The second function TRANS does the exact opposite.  
 NOTE: All tips provided are USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. Tips are submitted
