How do you capitilize in ksh scripts

[hronek]

I am trying to capitilize a string in a ksh script and can not figure out how to do so. Can anyone help me?

Thank you,

A friend just figured it out This is an example.

> LSTR=abc;CSTR=`echo $LSTR | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' `;echo $CSTR
>ABC

An easier way is to typeset your variable. In ksh:

typeset -u VAR
VAR=test
echo $VAR

produces the output "TEST"
