A uppercase/ lowercase block

Caleb101

It would be great to have a block that changes the input into all lowercase or uppercase.

Semi-support, while I believe it exists in other languages, I feel it might be underused- and by that I mean it won't be very useful, especially considering Scratch is not case-sensitive. If you need it, though, there are workarounds, but they can be a bit tedious.

I was thinking about the same suggestion a few hours ago

Well anyway, this would be nice for my project since it needs to be lowercase for minecraft commands, except would not be used that much in other projects.
So… no support

Semi - support - for this reasaon ^

define convert (string) to (upper/lower) case
set [new string v] to [] //will return string converted to upper/lower case
set [i v] to [1]
repeat (length of (string)) //loop through string

  repeat until << (letter (j) of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxuz]) = (letter (i) of (string)) > or < (j) > [26] >>

  end

    set [new string v] to (join (new string) (letter (i) of (string))
  else
    if <(upper/lower) = [upper]>
      set [new string v] to (join (new string) (letter (j) of [ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ]) //add uppercase version to new string
    end
    if <(upper/lower) = [lower]>
      set [new string v] to (join (new string) (letter (j) of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxuz]) //add lowercase letter to string
    end
  end
  change [i v] by (1) //on to next letter in string!
end

I made a project to do the suggestion from a duplicate topic.

Well, what if Turkish scratchers wanted to use that block? (In Turkish, I's lowercase is ı, and i's uppercase is İ)

There is a much simpler way to capitalize and lowercase strings in scratch.

This just loops 26 times for each letter in the string to determine what letter it is, and then it translates it to a corresponding letter in either lowercase or uppercase. In the image it is a lowercase version. Change the second visible alphabet to all caps if you want upper case, or to anything you want to correspond to the different letters of the alphabet.

set (Password) to [PaSSWoRd]
set (Letter) to [1]
set (Password2) to []
repeat (length of (Password))
repeat (26)
if <(letter (Letter) of (Password)) = (letter (Iterations) of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz])> then
set (Password2) to (join (Password2) (letter (Iterations) of [abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]))
end
change (Iterations) by (1)
end
change (Letter) by (1)
set (Iterations) to [1]
end
say (Password2) for (2) secs
say [password]

Bump. This would be useful if there's codes, all caps, lowercase stuff, etc.
