Use of CASELESS function in pos search

[thiagarr]

Hi,

I have the following in my Open Object REXX script in Windows and I would like to know how I can make the search case-insensitive?

if left(line.i, 9) = "<!DOCTYPE" then
if pos("<errorCode>", line.k) > 0 then say line.k

Here I want to make the search case insensitive of the strings doctype and errorcode in the source file.

How can I achieve this? Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

TR

if Upper( left(line.i, 9) ) = "<!DOCTYPE" then...

Frank,

Thank you for the response and the details.

The use of Upper gives error as follows:

47 *-* if upper(left(line.i, 9)) = "<!DOCTYPE"
Error 43 running C:\keyword-miss\error35log.cmd line 47: Routine not found
Error 43.1: Could not find routine "UPPER"

The string <errorcode> appears as '<Errorcode>' or '<errorCode>' or similar combination of upper and lower cases in the source data file. I want to use something like CASELESS here but I am not sure if UPPER and CASELESS work outside of PARSE argument.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks and regards,

TR

Try TRANSLATE:

if Translate( left(line.i, 9) ) = "<!DOCTYPE" then...

TRANSLATE without patterns operates to uppercase its object.
