How can I sense if an individual letter is lowercase or uppercase in Scratch? I know you can do this offline with the <list contains string> block, but it doesn't work in Scratch 2.0.

You could make a list of capital letters, and compare to that.



Of course, changing the 1 on the second line with a “length of” block could get you any letter of the string you wanted to check.

Basically, you have a list with all the upper case letters, and check if it contains the first letter

Yeah, I tried that, but it doesn't work in 2.0…

Doesn't work with 2.0…

Well, if it doesn't work in 2.0, you can still always make and upload it with 1.4.
That is, of course, if you didn't already get so far into it that it'd take forever to start over, because I don't think there's a way to convert 2.0 into 1.4.
Ehm.

Well, I have gotten quite a long ways with it (what an understatement, powerpoint56!!!!!!!!! ). I'll make a test project on 1.4 and see if it works to post the project from 1.4 to 2.0. I predict not.

Update: Nope, I tried on my test account, but once it's converted to 2.0 Flash format it isn't case-sensitive anymore.

It worked as I posted. At least, when I tested it, it did. Can you post a pic of your code?

Try having it sense a lowercase letter as the first letter. What does it report?

You're absolutely right. The test I did earlier was flawed. Scratch sees “A” as being equal to “a”.

I'll still try to find a way to make this work. Sorry for my mistake.

That's fine! Thanks for trying to help!

Is there even a way to detect if a letter is uppercase or lowercase?

Here's one that works:

This is only a demo that works for A or a. But, you should be able to easily expand it to the entire alphabet.

Hope this helps.

I would be a lot easier if they just had a block like

then you could set case-sensitive on and off

Yes there is somone has made a converter: http://kurt.herokuapp.com/20to14
