Converting Lower case to Upper Case

Scripting Forums AppleScript | Mac OS X
#21

I found this nice handler on a website, and I have often found it helpful. (I wish I could take credit.)

on changeCaseOfText(theText, theCaseToSwitchTo)
	if theCaseToSwitchTo contains "lower" then
		set theComparisonCharacters to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
		set theSourceCharacters to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
	else if theCaseToSwitchTo contains "upper" then
		set theComparisonCharacters to "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz"
		set theSourceCharacters to "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ"
	else
		return theText
	end if
	set theAlteredText to ""
	repeat with aCharacter in theText
		set theOffset to offset of aCharacter in theComparisonCharacters
		if theOffset is not 0 then
			set theAlteredText to (theAlteredText & character theOffset of theSourceCharacters) as string
		else
			set theAlteredText to (theAlteredText & aCharacter) as string
		end if
	end repeat
	return theAlteredText
end changeCaseOfText

For AppleScriptObjectiveC, i highly recommended ‘RegexAndStuffLib’ vom Shane Stanley. Please look at https://latenightsw.com/freeware/.
