set text to lowercase...

[flavioweb]

...but in one line after a ; and if ; is not first line char. for example:
LDA COLORS ; DO A COLOR
how to set "DO A COLOR" to lowercase?

Hi

awk -F ';' -vOFS=';' '[navy]$2[/navy][teal]{[/teal][navy]$2[/navy][teal]=[/teal][b]tolower[/b][teal]([/teal][navy]$2[/navy][teal])[/teal][teal]}[/teal][purple]1[/purple]' /input/file

thanks.
i can test it later...
just one thing, because i want to be sure, if there is a text after ; as first line char, this text is converted to lowercase?
because i need to avoid this.
just convert if ; isn't first line char.
thanks again

I'd try this:

awk -F ';' -vOFS=';' '$2[!] && substr($0,1,1)!=";"[/!]{$2=tolower($2)}1' /input/file

Hope This Helps, PH.

awk -F ';' -vOFS=';' '$2 && substr($0,1,1)!=";"{$2=tolower($2)}1' /input/file

This one worked as well.

Thanks a lot !
