仅对字母表进行大小写转换。所以，这应该很有效。

我专注于将a-z之间的字母从大写转换为小写。任何其他字符都应按原样打印在标准输出中。。。

将a-z范围内的path/to/file/filename中的所有文本转换为a-z

用于将小写转换为大写

cat path/to/file/filename | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'

用于从大写转换为小写

cat path/to/file/filename | tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'

例如

文件名：

my name is xyz

转换为：

MY NAME IS XYZ

示例2：

echo "my name is 123 karthik" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
# Output:
# MY NAME IS 123 KARTHIK

示例3：

echo "my name is 123 &&^&& #@$#@%%& kAR2~thik" | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z'
# Output:
# MY NAME IS 123 &&^&& #@0@%%& KAR2~THIK

对于仅使用内置的标准外壳（没有bashms）：

uppers=ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ
lowers=abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz

lc(){ #usage: lc "SOME STRING" -> "some string"
    i=0
    while ([ $i -lt ${#1} ]) do
        CUR=${1:$i:1}
        case $uppers in
            *$CUR*)CUR=${uppers%$CUR*};OUTPUT="${OUTPUT}${lowers:${#CUR}:1}";;
            *)OUTPUT="${OUTPUT}$CUR";;
        esac
        i=$((i+1))
    done
    echo "${OUTPUT}"
}

对于大写：

uc(){ #usage: uc "some string" -> "SOME STRING"
    i=0
    while ([ $i -lt ${#1} ]) do
        CUR=${1:$i:1}
        case $lowers in
            *$CUR*)CUR=${lowers%$CUR*};OUTPUT="${OUTPUT}${uppers:${#CUR}:1}";;
            *)OUTPUT="${OUTPUT}$CUR";;
        esac
        i=$((i+1))
    done
    echo "${OUTPUT}"
}

在bash 4中，可以使用类型集

例子：

A="HELLO WORLD"
typeset -l A=$A

将转换后的字符串存储到变量中。跟踪对我有用-$SOURCE_NAME至$TARGET_NAME

TARGET_NAME="`echo $SOURCE_NAME | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]'`"

因此，我尝试对每个实用程序使用共识方法执行一些更新的基准测试，但我没有多次重复一个小集合，而是。。。

以UTF-8编码的多字节Unicode字符填充到边缘的1.85 GB.txt文件中，为了均衡I/O方面，同时还强制所有人使用LC_ALL=C，以确保公平竞争

————————————————————————————————————————

准确地说，bsd-sed和gnu-sed都相当平庸。我甚至不知道bsd sed在做什么，因为他们的xxhash不匹配python3是否试图使用Unicode字母大小写？（即使我已经强制设置了区域设置LC_ALL=C）tr是最极端的到目前为止，gnutr是最快的bsd tr非常残暴perl5比我拥有的任何awk变体都快，除非你可以使用mawk2一次加载整个文件，以便稍微超过perl5：2.935秒mawk2对每15秒3.081秒在awk中，gnu-gawk的速度最慢，中间是mawk 1.3.4，最快是mawk1.9.9.6：比gawk节省50%以上的时间.（我没有把时间浪费在无用的macosx nawk上）

通过一次加载所有文件，并在单个函数调用中对所有1.85 GB执行tolower（），可以人为地使mawk2比perl5更快：：

( time ( pvE0 < "${m3t}" | 

  LC_ALL=C mawk2 '
           BEGIN {            FS = RS = "^$"  } 
             END { print tolower($(ORS = "")) }' 

 ) | pvE9 ) | xxh128sum| lgp3 

      in0: 1.85GiB 0:00:00 [3.35GiB/s] [3.35GiB/s] [============>] 100%            
     out9: 1.85GiB 0:00:02 [ 647MiB/s] [ 647MiB/s] [ <=> ]
( pvE 0.1 in0 < "${m3t}" | LC_ALL=C mawk2 ; )


1.39s user 1.31s system 91% cpu 2.935 total
85759a34df874966d096c6529dbfb9d5  stdin

如果使用v4，则会进行烘焙。如果不是，这里有一个简单、广泛适用的解决方案。这个线程上的其他答案（和注释）对创建下面的代码非常有用。

# Like echo, but converts to lowercase
echolcase () {
    tr [:upper:] [:lower:] <<< "${*}"
}

# Takes one arg by reference (var name) and makes it lowercase
lcase () { 
    eval "${1}"=\'$(echo ${!1//\'/"'\''"} | tr [:upper:] [:lower:] )\'
}

笔记：

执行：a=“Hi All”，然后：lcase a将执行与：a=$相同的操作（echolcase“Hi All”）在lcase函数中，使用$｛！1//\'/“'\'”｝而不是${！1｝，即使字符串有引号，也可以使用此函数。
