# string-downcase

Type: | - | function (subr)
Source: | - | xlstr.c

## Syntax

(string-downcase string [{:start | :end} offset] ... )
  string - a string expression
  offset - an optional integer expression for a keyword
  returns - a converted copy of the string

## Description

The 'string-downcase' function takes a string argument and returns a new string that has been made lower case.

The keyword arguments allow for accessing substrings within 'string'. The keyword arguments require a keyword ':start' or ':end' first and a single integer expression second. The ':start' keyword specifies the starting offset for the 'string-downcase' operation on 'string'. A value of 0 starts the string at the beginning [no offset]. The ':end' keyword specifies the end offset for the operation on 'string'.

## Examples

    (string-downcase "ABcd+-12&[")                ; returns "abcd+-&["
    (string-downcase "ABCDEFGH" :start 2 :end 4)  ; returns "ABcdEFGH"

    (setq mystr "ABcdEFgh")      ; set up variable
    (string-downcase mystr)      ; returns "abcdefgh"
    (print mystr)                ; prints  "ABcdEFgh"

See the string-downcase function in the XLISP 2.0 manual.
