FUNCTION

[ Top | Next ]

OneCase puts all of the alphabetic characters in a file into lower or UPPER case. It can also capitalize every word.

DESCRIPTION

[ Previous | Top | Next ]

OneCase accepts a file or a list of file names and makes new files that are either all uppercase or all lowercase. Usually the new files have the same names as the original and are written into your current working directory, but you may rename or redirect them on the command line.

EXAMPLE
