LowerText

Provide localizable lowercasing

#include <Script.h> Script Manager

void LowerText( textPtr, len );

Ptr textPtr ; a pointer to the text to be lowercased

short len ; the length of the text

The LowerText procedure provides localizable lowercase conversion of text

up to 32 KB in length.

Notes: The LwrText interface is still available and is identical to LowerText.

procedures may move memory.

The LwrText procedure was available with Script Manager 2.0 as a

high-level interface to the _LwrString trap. Beginning with system

software version 6.0.4, LwrText was localizable by using tables in the

'itl2' resource. The UprText procedure was also available in

Script Manager 2.0 as a high-level interface to the _UprString trap but

was generally not localized.

In system software version 7.0, a new set of routines is available from

both assembly and high-level languages to provide localizable lowercasing,

uppercasing, and stripping of diacritical marks. All of these

routines-LowerText, UpperText, StripText, and

StripUpperText-use trap 0xA056 (formerly called LwrString), but

they set the operating-system trap flags to indicate which function is

desired. UpperText provides a localizable version of UprText. The name

LwrString can still be used; however, you are encouraged to use the new

names that have been defined for the various functions of the LwrString

trap.

Trap macro _LowerText
