Purpose
Returns a lower-case equivalent of a string. You can call this function from the MapBasic window in MapInfo Pro.
Syntax
LCase$( string_expr ) string_expr is a string expression.
Return Value
String
Description
The LCase$() function returns the string which is the lower-case equivalent of the string expression string_expr.
Conversion from upper- to lower-case only affects alphabetic characters (A through Z); numeric digits, and punctuation marks are not affected. Thus, the function call:
LCase$( "A#12a" )returns the string value "a#12a".
Example
Dim regular, lower_case As String
regular = "Los Angeles"
lower_case = LCase$(regular)
'
' Now, lower_case contains the value "los angeles"
