Is there a way to make bourne shell not care about case on string

  • 0

Is there a way to make bourne shell not care about case on string comparisons? alternatively, can I convert a variable to all lowercase?

I was trying to use tr with echo, but never could get it to overwrite my variable.

    I just tried

    MYVAR="This is a Test."
MYVAR=$(echo $MYVAR | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')
echo $MYVAR

    and the result was

    this is a test.
