LCase

Syntax:

    output = LCase(source)

Command Availability:

Available on all microcontrollers.

Explanation:

The LCase function converts all of the letters in the string source to lower case, and returns the result. Characters that are not letters are left unchanged.

Example:

    'Set chip model
    #chip 16F1936

    'Set up hardware serial connection
    #define USART_BAUD_RATE 9600
    #define USART_TX_BLOCKING


    'Fill a string with a message
    Dim TestData As String
    TestData = "Hello, world!"

    'Display the string in lower case
    'Will display "hello, world!"
    HSerPrint LCase(TestData)          ' <<< the LCase instruction
    HSerPrintCRLF

Key line: LCase(TestData) — returns TestData with every letter converted to lower case, leaving the comma and exclamation mark untouched.
