Re: Make variables uppercase in bash.Probably the easiest thing to do would be to set a variable for the letter first, then just use that variable.
e.g instead of:
bash code:echo " column3 CONSTANT '" ${LINE:4:1} | tr 'a-z' 'A-Z' "'," >> file_loader.ctl
try:
bash code:the_char=`echo ${LINE:4:1} | tr a-z A-Z`
echo " column3 CONSTANT '$the_char'," >> file_loader.tcl
Again, assuming you just want the O there and not the full name. If you want the full name, it'd be slightly more involved but not terribly so.

The above line just returns the given string literal, not the results of the echo. |
