Upshift Character
Purpose
Converts one or more alphabetic characters to uppercase.
Default Syntax
[n] ^
where n represents the number of characters to convert to uppercase. The
default value of n is 1.
Description
This command converts one or more alphabetic characters on the cursor
line from lowercase to uppercase by scanning the number of characters
specified. HP EDIT does not convert non-uppercase characters, such as
digits.
If you specify a greater number of characters for conversion than
characters remaining on the cursor line, HP EDIT capitalizes the
remaining lowercase characters on the line and moves the cursor to the
last character on the line.
Procedures
To convert one lowercase character to uppercase:
1. Move the cursor to the alphabetic character you want to convert.
2. Press the ^ key. HP EDIT converts the character and moves the
cursor one column to the right of the converted character.
To convert more than one lowercase character to uppercase:
1. Move the cursor to the first character of the group of alphabetic
characters you want to convert.

specified, converts all lowercase characters within the range, and
moves the cursor one column to the right of the last scanned
character.
