Hello, silly question, how can these be combined so you change all upper case to lower case and all lower case to upper case at the same time, in the same text document.
I don't know of one.
I wrote a program many years ago to correctly format names and addresses. It was written in Pl/1 and ran under Windows 3.1 and higher. Though the highest version I tested it with was Vista.
I see no reason why it wouldn't work under the latest Windows if the right libraries were available.
It was also compiled and run on IBM mainframes.
Distribution: Debian Sid AMD64, Raspbian Wheezy, various VMs
