CaseFix plugin for Take Command / TCC / TCC/LE
beta version 0.93.0.2 2024-10-04
Charles Dye
Purpose:
This plugin replaces TCC’s internal @CAPS,
@LOWER, and @UPPER functions with new versions
that handle Unicode characters, including accented Latin letters and
Cyrillic letters.
These functions call CharUpper() and CharLower().
Installation:
To use this plugin, copy CaseFix.dll to
some known location on your hard drive. (If you are still using the 32-bit
version of Take Command, take CaseFix-x86.dll
instead of CaseFix.dll.) Load the .DLL file with a
PLUGIN /L command, for example:
plugin /l c:\bin\tcmd\test\casefix.dll
If you copy this file to a subdirectory named PlugIns within your Take Command program directory, it will be loaded automatically when TCC starts.

Syntax Note:
The syntax definitions in the following text use these conventions for clarity:
BOLD CODE | indicates text which must be typed exactly as shown. |
CODE | indicates optional text, which may be typed as shown or omitted. |
| Bold italic | names a required argument; a value must be supplied. |
| Regular italic | names an optional argument. |
| ellipsis… | after an argument means that more than one may be given. |
New Functions:
@CAPS — Returns its
input text with the first letter of each word capitalized.
Syntax:
%@CAPS[text]
%@CAPS["sep",text]
| text | text to be capitalized |
| sep | optional list of word separator characters |
The list of separator characters is optional. If given, it must be in double quotes.
If it is not specified, the default is to treat all whitespace characters as word separators.
If the list is empty, @CAPS will capitalize only the first letter of the
text.
echo %@caps[cet étudiant vit à Paris.]
@LOWER — Returns its
input text in lowercase.
Syntax:
%@LOWER[text]
| text | text to be lowercased |
echo %@lower[LES ÉLÈVES FRANÇAIS APPRENNENT OÙ PLACER LES CARACTÈRES ACCENTUÉS.]
@UPPER — Returns its
input text in uppercase.
Syntax:
%@UPPER[text]
| text | text to be uppercased |
echo %@upper[Les élèves français apprennent où placer les caractères accentués.]
Startup Message:
This plugin displays an informational line when it initializes. The
message will be suppressed in transient or pipe shells. You can disable it
for all shells by defining an environment variable named NOLOADMSG,
for example:
set /e /u noloadmsg=1
Status and Licensing:
Consider this beta software. It may well have issues. Try it at your own risk. If you find a problem, you can report it in the JP Software support forum.
