 |
|
I cant get typeset working for some reason.... heres my script:
| Code: |
#!/bin/bash
for parameterList in $*
do
typeset -u parameterList
echo $parameterList
done
|
heres the warning I get:
typeset: usage: typeset [-afFirtx] [-p] name[=value] ...
-u should be an argument of typeset (-u is used to turn a string to uppercase and -l should turn a string to lowercase) |

You appear to be mistaken (based on the warning bash gave you, and bash(1)). As for an alternative, tr can be used to change case:
| Code: | #!/bin/bash
upper () {
echo "$*" | tr [:lower:] [:upper:]
}
for param in "$@"
do
echo "$(upper $param)"
done
|
Hope this helps,
