用tr需要新增变量,用declare或typeset需要在变量赋值前或者赋值后单独声明,都有些麻烦
此方法为bash 4.0以后新增,bash 4.0 2009年发布
$ test="abcDEF"
# 把变量中的第一个字符换成大写
$ echo ${test^}
AbcDEF
# 把变量中的所有小写字母,全部替换为大写
$ echo ${test^^}
ABCDEF
# 把变量中的第一个字符换成小写
$ echo ${test,}
abcDEF
# 把变量中的所有大写字母,全部替换为小写
$ echo ${test,,}
abcdef
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2264428/how-to-convert-a-string-to-lower-case-in-bash
The are various ways:
POSIX standard
tr
$ echo "$a" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'
hi all
AWK
$ echo "$a" | awk '{print tolower($0)}'
hi all
Non-POSIX
You may run into portability issues with the following examples:
Bash 4.0
$ echo "${a,,}"
hi all
sed
$ echo "$a" | sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/'
hi all
# this also works:
$ sed -e 's/\(.*\)/\L\1/' <<< "$a"
hi all
Perl
$ echo "$a" | perl -ne 'print lc'
hi all
Bash
lc(){
case "$1" in
[A-Z])
n=$(printf "%d" "'$1")
n=$((n+32))
printf \\$(printf "%o" "$n")
;;
*)
printf "%s" "$1"
;;
esac
}
word="I Love Bash"
for((i=0;i<${#word};i++))
do
ch="${word:$i:1}"
lc "$ch"
done
