Struggling with Case Sensitivity

[sj_bee]

You could get the file name once and then use toupper and tolower to check for both upper and lower case situations

[Norb]

Along those lines you would do something like this:


string $list[] = `getFileList -folder $path`;

for ($item in $list) {
//convert the filename to lower case
string $lowerItem = tolower($item);

//check if the lowercase filespec matches the lowercase filename
if (gmatch $fileSpec $lowerItem) {
//do something with $item
}
}

Thanks guys, I have this working with something similar. I was just wondering if you could search for a string ignoring case sensitivity, so the same one line command would return both "this" and "THIS".
I guess there's not then :)

Cheers anyway.

Just do the comparisson with the forced lower case version, but note the original filename if it passes. You can do this with the example above. Append $item to an array and keep going, then return the array when you are done.
