Function: string llToUpper( string src );

Returns a string that is src with all upper-case characters.

• string

src

The opposite is llToLower.

There is no Linden Library "llToProperCase", which would return correctly capitalized strings; However, there are user functions that do this: ToNormal
The function also works for many characters outside the 7-bit ASCII range, especially latin, cyrillic and greek, but not all characters tagged as "lowercase" in the Unicode specification are converted.

string msg = "I like candy!";
string p = llToUpper(msg);
llOwnerSay(p);//Will say "I LIKE CANDY!"

A

Unicode behavior of llToUpper and llToLower is inconsistent and broken
