Uppercase


Uppercase ( aString {; *} ) -> Function result

Parameter	Type	Description
aString	String	String to convert to uppercase
*	Operator	If passed: keep accents
Function result	String	String in uppercase

Description

Uppercase takes aString and returns the string with all alphabetic characters in uppercase.

The optional * parameter, if passed, indicates that any accented characters present in aString must be returned as accented uppercase characters. By default, when this parameter is omitted, accented characters “lose” their accents after the conversion is carried out.

Example 1

This example compares the results obtained according to whether or not the * parameter has been passed:

 $thestring:=Uppercase("hélène") ` $thestring is "HELENE"

 $thestring:=Uppercase("hélène";*) ` $thestring is "HÉLÈNE"

Example 2

See the example for Lowercase.
