You are getting error since toupper() should be used inside awk. Why do you use toupper() ? (You are already fetching filenames in upper or lower case)

If you want to convert the contents of a file to change lowercase letters within a file to uppercase letters while preserving the original ownership, access modes, and links you can use either of the following:
If what you want is to perform a case insensitive match when looking for the string START TIME, but you want the output produced by your awk script to match the case sensitive input found in the file, change:
