Upshift Line
Purpose
Converts one or more lines to uppercase.
Default Syntax
[n] ESC ^
where n represents the number of lines to convert to uppercase. The
default value of n is 1.
Description
This command converts one or more lines from lowercase to uppercase, and
moves the cursor to the first column of the first line following the
capitalized lines. HP EDIT does not convert non-uppercase characters,
such as digits.
If you specify a greater number of lines for conversion than lines
remaining in the file, HP EDIT capitalizes the remaining lines in the
file and moves the cursor to the last line in the file.
