im trying to find a command to
change all upper case to lower case and
all lower case to upper case.
for example:
file is 'RED sox'
need it changed to 'red SOX'
I would expect it to work with single quotes as well:
rfourn, what version of Unix are you using? And what shell?
The pre-posix USG based version of tr used to require brackets around a range. On such a version,
tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
would work for sure. I don't remember for sure if multiple ranges would work, but I think they did. If so,
tr '[a-z][A-Z]' '[A-Z][a-z]'
would work. BSD never required the brackets and Posix adopted the BSD style for ranges. Legacy USG scripts will tend to work with a Posix version of tr because with
tr '[a-z]' '[A-Z]'
brackets are being replaced by themselves. A legacy USG scrip with code like:
tr 'a-z'
where the 'a-z' is supposed to be exactly 3 characters will fail though.
I hope you aren't using a very old version of Unix with behavior like this. But if you are, it is especially crucial that you mention your Unix version with every question.
