How to convert string to uppercase / lowercase?

[Mário Godinho]

I need to convert a string into uppercase.
How can I do that with robot?
I searched in some robot libraries but none has a keyword for that...

Thanks in advance.

Hello M�rio,

There are two options:

1) Use extended variable syntax [1] in an user keyword, like this:

***Keywords***
Uppercase [Arguments] ${string}
[Return] ${string.upper()}

2) Create your own library keyword [2]

def upper_case(string):
return string.upper()

Thanks...

meanwhile I found out that I can do that also in my python robot input file :-):
MY_VAR=str.upper(my_small_var)

This does work but using `MY_VAR = my_small_var.upper()` is more
common way to do it.

I actually thought String library would have keywords for
upper/lower/title casing strings. They surely could be added. Anyone
interested to implement them? At least an enhancement request could be
submitted to the tracker.

Cheers,
