String.uppercase()
String.uppercase
Returns the referenced String, transforming all uppercase letters to lowercase.
The function can be chained to both string data and to string literals:
$MyString.uppercase()
"my new title".uppercase()
The latter gives "MY NEW TITLE".
The trailing parentheses may be omitted:
$MyString.uppercase
Functionally equivalent to uppercase().
If $MyString is "hello world":
$MyString = $MyString.uppercase;
$MyString is set to "HELLO WORLD".
The .uppercase() method may also be used on Lists or Sets. Consider [Ant;BEE;Cow] stored in $MyList:
$MyList = $MyList.uppercase;
… giving [ANT;BEE;COW].
