ToLower - XpressDox

Convert text into lower case

Regardless of the case of the value entered into the interview or imported from a database, that value can be converted into lower case.

Command structure:

«ToLower(Type)»
“Plaintiff” becomes “plaintiff”

Additional parameters on the ToLower function:

Double clicking on the “ToLower” command from the Command Assistant will provide the basic helper. However, if you single click on the command (or any command) you can access other versions of the helper and in the case of ToLower, you can choose to “Convert a data element value, specifying a substring”.

ToLower can begin converting the string at any character supplied at the Starting Character Number, 1 being the first character. And similarly, should you wish to convert only a part of the string, then insert a number into the 3rd block. A 0 means that the entire string will be converted. These are both optional, and a 1 and 0 mean that the entire string will be converted into lower case.

Combining ToLower with other functions:

Convert a string to lower case before testing it in:
«When(StartsWithVowel(ToLower(Fruit)),an,a)» «ToLower(Fruit)»
