Changing Case of File Contents?

» close window

The Question is:

 
Entire document was created in upper case and need to change to lower case.
 

The Answer is :

 
  Use a DCL command procedure that opens the file, reads a record, runs
  the text through f$edit specifying LOWERCASE, writes the record, then
  loops back and reads the next record until End Of File is reached.
 
  Use a text editor?  With EDIT/EVE, for instance:
 
    [DO]TOP[CR]
    [SELECT]
    [DO]BOTTOM[CR]
    [DO]LOWERCASE[CR]
 
  With LSE:
 
    [PF1][Prev]
    [SELECT]
    [PF1][Next]
    [PF1][KP1]
 
  With EDIT/EDT:
 
    C (to get into screen mode, if needed)
    [PF1][PF5]
    [KP.]
    [PF1][PF4]
    [PF1][KP1]
    ^z
    exit
 
  With EDIT/TECO:
 
    <:n^Ec$"f0;'r0a-^^A+1"g0a-^^Z-1"l0a+32i$dr''c>$ex$$
 
  There are undoubtedly many other ways.
