I have a text file that has a name in it (/tmp/new_users.txt).
$ cat /tmp/new_users.txt
Smith
I'm trying to convert it to lower case. Easy enough right? Here's what
I'm trying:
$ awk "{ print tolower($1) }" /tmp/new_users.txt
awk: cmd. line:1: fatal: 0 is invalid as number of arguments for tolower
The file may contain multiple lines, so I'd like to convert all the
lines to all lowercase. I won't have any funny characters, just
alphanumeric.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance to they whom help me.
