This recalls something. If the QB64 IDE could capitalize keywords, why not offer a keyword in the language which does it to a given string? I just did the search function on this forum and was unable to find a routine that does it. I'm sure it was done a few times... by Steve.
Otherwise "LCASE$()" is useful for programs written in BASIC that create C or Lua code, or for any other programming language that must have all keywords in lowercase. There are a surprising amount of programs out there that invent a Lua script out of something else, such as the "Brain___k" interpreter. "UCASE$()" is helpful for reconstructing classic COBOL and Fortran programs LOL.
Use one or the other where letter case shouldn't matter, especially for those lovers of forums unwilling to use [CAPS-LOCK] nor [SHIFT] for any of their writing...
