We have a 550,000 line program that is mostly written in upper case.
Does anyone have experience with a public domain program to
convert all the code into lower case ? Of course, comments, formats
and data statements would need to be skipped.

Thanks,
Lynn

Lynn:
I am not aware of any public utility that perfroms the task you
mention, but if you know Visual Basic it is a trivial task to write a
few lines of code to do exactly what you want.

Cheers

How about this ruby script (that creates a backup file):

lnx:/usr1/wd20pd/tmp : dir
total 16K
-rwxr-xr-x 1 wd20pd wd4 117 Oct 31 14:54 downcase.rb*
-rw-r--r-- 1 wd20pd wd4 88 Oct 31 14:51 input_file

The script itself is simple:

#!/usr/bin/env ruby
# Define backup default
$-i=".bak"
# Inplace edit the file
ARGF.each {|line| puts line.downcase}

A test input file:

On Tue, 31 Oct 2006 15:00:02 -0500, Paul van Delst put fingers to keyboard
and said:

[major snippage]

That would work (so would emacs or any more or less modern text editor),
but notice the last sentence...

Yup, I am multilingual to about a dozen computer languages.
However, I would prefer to use someone else's "debugged"
work here . There could be tigers. There are most
certainly lions (fortran character strings, continuation formats,
etc).

Combining such option with the ones available in some word
processors/IDE's (e.g., Shift+F3 in MS-Word, Ctrl+U in MS-Visual Studio
2005), will do the work... I think Open-office might have a similar
option (but I don't want to reboot right now just to find out).

If using the MS-Word option (or similar), be sure to disable the
autocorrection bug/feature first (e.g., the expression "A(I,:)" could
be re-interpreted as "A(I," and the *smile* symbol).

I don't have any experience with this, but a Google search for "fortran

One of the advertised bits of "trialware" is tidy72.zip, which claims to
do more or less what you want.

I have no connection to the site or to the package.

I think it would be more fun to write a Perl program that would just do it.
