Change text to upper case or lower case automatically

Change case rewrites text in upper case, lower case, or with a capital first letter. It's a quick fix for clipboard text, file names and anything that needs to look consistent.

How it works

  • Give it the text and choose UPPER CASE, lower case or Capital first letter.
  • It returns the changed text; the original value stays as it was.
  • It only works on the text you give it and touches nothing else on the PC, so it behaves the same in a dry run.

Routines that use it

Fix caps-lock text

Get the clipboard, change it to lower case and put it back with Set clipboard.

Neat file names

Lower-case a name before Rename file so names match.

Shout a reminder

Upper-case a message before showing it with Show banner.

Good to know

  • There's no Title Case for every word; only the first letter can be capitalised.

Questions

How do I convert clipboard text to lower case on Windows?
Make a hotkey routine with Get clipboard, Change case set to lower case, and Set clipboard.
Can it capitalise every word?
Not yet. Capital first letter only changes the start of the text.

Get clipboard reads what is on the clipboard so later steps can use it. Choose text, copied files, or an image, which is saved as a PNG file you name.

Step · ClipboardFree

Set clipboard

Set clipboard puts text, files or an image on the clipboard, or empties it. Use it to prepare something for pasting, hand files to a folder, or clear sensitive data after a while.

Trim text

Trim text cleans the edges of a text, removing spaces and line breaks from the start, the end or both. It's the quiet fix for copied values that don't compare the way you expect.

Step · FilesFree

Rename file

Rename file changes a file or folder's name without moving it. You can write a whole new name, or find and replace part of the current one.

Step · Data and variablesFree

Replace text

Replace text finds every occurrence of something in a text and swaps it for something else, or removes it. It works on clipboard text, file contents and step results alike.
