Re: Maybe real stupid question …

Hi,

Many thanks to all.
"lowercaseString" method of NSString seems to be the way to go.

Takaaki you wrote about an article about ASCII code, where could it be found.

Kind regards
Andreas

Well, it's more readable, at any rate, especially if all you need to do is detect an upper (or lower) case letter. To transform between them, using ASCII character/number is the way to go. Of course, both of them only work for ASCII letters -- if you feed them anything with a diacritic mark ("é", for example), they won't work. For a more general solution (but only in Studio), try using the "lowercaseString" method of NSString.

How about this code? But you'd better to detect case by ASCII code number
not like this code.

And you'd better to read the article about ASCII code.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ASCII_code

<AppleScript>
set aChar to "A" --this returns "Upper case"
--set aChar to "a" --this returns "Lower case"
set aRes to detectCase(aChar) of me

on detectCase(aChar)
    considering case
        if aChar is in "abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz" then
            return "Lower case"
        else if aChar is in "ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ" then
            return "Upper case"
        else
            return "other characters...."
        end if
    end considering
end detectCase
</AppleScript>

Hi all,

I sitting here and can't find an effective way to figure out whether
a certain character of a text string is either upper or lower.
Any ideas out there?

Thanks for reading the message at all and
kind regards.
