Test for or eliminate? For the second, and the lower/upper case problem, try
Code:
read option
sdj$/%§keb()/&eWEqwe
echo $(tr 'a-z' 'A-Z' <<< ${option//[[:punct:]]})
SDJKEBEWEQWE

Again, needs a recent bash for the here string.

NAME
toupper - transliterate lower-case characters to upper-case SYNOPSIS
#include <ctype.h> int toupper(int c); DESCRIPTION
The toupper() function has as a domain a type int, the value of which is representable as an unsigned char or the value of EOF.

All other arguments in the domain are returned unchanged. RETURN VALUES
On successful completion, toupper() returns the upper-case letter corresponding to the argument passed. ERRORS
No errors are defined. ATTRIBUTES
