ANOTHER CASE TRANSLATION

If you have occasion where you need to translate upper
case to lower and vice versa, and happen to run a ksh, enter the following functions into your .profile:

function trans
{
tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' < $1 > $2
}
function TRANS
{
tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' <$1 > $2
}

The first function will translate all uppercase letters in the first file (argument) to lowercase in the second file.

The second function TRANS does the exact opposite.
