Trying to test for both upper and lower case directories
I am trying to get a script to print out whether a directory is lowercase uppercase or both. This is what I've got so far:
Code:
echo -e read "enter name"
read server
for DIR in $(find /tmp/$server -type d -prune | sed 's/\.\///g');do if expr match "$server" "[a-zA-Z]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$server - Both"; elif expr match "$server" "[[:upper:]]*$"; then echo "$server - Uppercase"; elif expr match "$server" "[[:lower:]]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$server -there are lower";fi;done
Now this will let me know whether either an upper or lowercase directory is present for the servername and also if both are present, like this
/tmp/server -lowercase present
/tmp/SERVER - uppercase present.
if both are present, it prints both
However, if I type in a lowercase name and there is only a lowercase directory, it still prints "both." What am I doing wrong? I think "[a-zA-Z]* is bad because it matches incorrectly. I think I need something like "[[:upper:]]*$ && [[lower:]]" but this does not work.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

toupper
TOUPPER(3) Linux Programmer's Manual TOUPPER(3)NAME
toupper, tolower - convert letter to upper or lower case
SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h>
int toupper(int c);
int tolower(int c);
DESCRIPTION
toupper() converts the letter c to upper case, if possible.
tolower() converts the letter c to lower case, if possible.
If c is not an unsigned char value, or EOF, the behavior of these functions is undefined.
RETURN VALUE
The value returned is that of the converted letter, or c if the conversion was not possible.
CONFORMING TO
C89, C99, 4.3BSD.
BUGS
The details of what constitutes an uppercase or lowercase letter depend on the current locale. For example, the default "C" locale does
not know about umlauts, so no conversion is done for them.
In some non-English locales, there are lowercase letters with no corresponding uppercase equivalent; the German sharp s is one example.
