SET CASE
Purpose
Use the CASE option to control how letters are entered into the file, how commands are translated from the command line (whether the commands are entered from the terminal or from the console stack), and whether uppercase and lowercase letters are significant in target searches.
Operands
- Uppercase
- indicates the editor is to translate all lowercase letters to uppercase (whether the lines are entered from the terminal or from the console stack).
- Mixed
- indicates the editor is not to translate uppercase and lowercase letters (whether the lines are entered from the terminal or console stack).
- Respect
- In target searches, an uppercase letter
does not match a lowercase letter (and a lowercase letter does not match an uppercase letter). For
example:
does not locate in the file:/This Text/this text - Ignore
- In target searches, uppercase and lowercase representations of the same
letter match. For example:
locates in the file:locate /THIS TEXT/this text
Initial Setting
R is always the initial setting; M or U is based on file type. See File Type Defaults.
Examples
In the following example, the SET CASE subcommand tells the editor to ignore the difference between uppercase and lowercase.
set case mixed ignore
