Full Discussion: Trying to test for both upper and lower case directories

Variable problem? Still can't both to return
Corona:

This script is what I have. It does identify both lower and upper case but will never print "both." For example, if I enter david as the input it responds david -lowercase. If I enter DAVID as the input it responds DAVID- uppercase. But if I type either david or DAVID it never prints both. But in reality there are both DAVID and david directories in /tmp such as this:

/tmp/david
/tmp/DAVID

I realize this may be a dumb question on my part, but it appears to me that the reason this script does not return the "both" value is that I am entering only lowercase or uppercase into the input and it is being read as such and not looking to see if there are the two directories.

Code:
echo -e read "enter name"
read netapp
for DIR in $(find /usr/openv/netbackup/db/images/$netapp -type d -prune | sed 's/\.\///g');do if expr match "$netapp" "[a-zA-Z]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$netapp - Both"; elif expr match "$netapp" "[[:upper:]]*$"; then echo "$netapp - Uppercase"; elif expr match "$netapp" "[[:lower:]]*$" > /dev/null; then echo "$netapp -there are lower";fi;done

Thanks again for your patience with my newbie questions!

xtcaseproc

XtCaseProc()															      XtCaseProc()

Name
  XtCaseProc - interface definition for procedure to convert the case of keysyms.

Synopsis
  typedef void (*XtCaseProc) (Display*, KeySym, KeySym *, KeySym *);
	 Display *display
	 KeySym  keysym;
	 KeySym  *lower_return;
	 KeySym  *upper_return;

Inputs
  display     Provides the display connection for which the conversion is required.

  keysym      Specifies the keysym to convert.

Outputs
  lower_return
	      Returns the lowercase equivalent for keysym.

  upper_return
	      Returns the uppercase equivalent for keysym.

Description
  An  XtCaseProc  is a case converter procedure registered with XtRegisterCaseConverter(), and invoked by XtConvertCase() and by the Transla-
  tion Manager in order to obtain the uppercase and lowercase versions of a keysym.  It should store the upper and  lower  case  versions  of
  keysym  at the addresses specified by lower_return and upper_return.	If there is no case distinction, it should store keysym at both loca-
  tions.

Usage
  You should only need to write a case converter procedure if you are working with non-standard keysyms.

Example
  The default case converter from the R4 Intrinsics is as follows:

     /* ARGSUSED */
     void _XtConvertCase(dpy, sym, lower, upper)
	 Display *dpy;
	 KeySym sym;
	 KeySym *lower;
	 KeySym *upper;
     {
	 *lower = sym;
	 *upper = sym;
	 switch(sym >> 8) {
	     case 0:
		 if ((sym >= XK_A) && (sym <= XK_Z))
		     *lower += (XK_a - XK_A);
		 else if ((sym >= XK_a) && (sym <= XK_z))
		     *upper -= (XK_a - XK_A);
		 else if ((sym >= XK_Agrave) && (sym <= XK_Odiaeresis))
		     *lower += (XK_agrave - XK_Agrave);
		 else if ((sym >= XK_agrave) && (sym <= XK_odiaeresis))
		     *upper -= (XK_agrave - XK_Agrave);
		 else if ((sym >= XK_Ooblique) && (sym <= XK_Thorn))
		     *lower += (XK_oslash - XK_Ooblique);
		 else if ((sym >= XK_oslash) && (sym <= XK_thorn))
		     *upper -= (XK_oslash - XK_Ooblique);
		 break;
	     default:
		 /* XXX do all other sets */
		 break;
	 }
     }
