CASE TRANSLATION

If you have occasion whereyou need to translate uppercase to lower and viceversa, and happen to run aksh, enter the following functions into your .bash_profile:

trans ()
{
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < $1 > $2
}
TRANS()
{
tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' <$1 > $2
}
The first function trans will translate all uppercaseletters in the first file(argument) to lowercase in the second file.
The second function TRANS does the exact opposite.
