toLowerCase

The toLowerCase task converts all the characters of an input string to lowercase. This task does not affect any characters that are already in lowercase.

Potential use case

This task returns a new string in which all the characters are converted to lowercase. You could use this method if a southbound database required a specific field to have all lowercase characters.

Example

In this example:

  • The incoming variable for str is provided by the output of the NewVariable:myVariable reference task, located in another workflow.
  • The reference variable provided by the reference task is value, which is a string containing uppercase characters (for example, “Itential, LLC”).
  • The string value is converted to lowercase characters and the lowercaseString output will read as “itential, llc”.
