Option 'u' --> Scan File to Uppercase.  QTGrep distinguishes between UPPER case and lower case alphabetic characters, i.e., 'A' and 'a' are not the same.  If the user desires to scan and have no distinction between upper case and lower case alphabetic characters, i.e., 'a' should match both 'a' and 'A', then this option should be used to force all alphabetic characters in the files scanned to upper case, and all search patterns should be in upper case.  If any character in a search pattern is in lower case, that pattern will not match while this option is in effect.

Note:  This does not alter the actual files scanned, only their form internal to QTGrep as scanned.

The use of the 'i' command line option should be used for true "caseless" searches.

This is a local option and may be turned on or off for separate files as desired.

Incompatible Options Are:
W
Write Compiled Search Patterns
Z
