How to disable uppercase in love.textinput ?

[Harrylechienfou]

Hello everybody.
I'm using the love.textinput function currently for my game project, but I have a problem that I can't solve and I hope you can help me.

The problem is that, by default, the uppercase is enable in the function love.textinput, and I have no idea how to disable it. I'm working on a text adventure kinda game and the uppercase is a huge problem for my gameplay : because it's enable, "Map Name", "map name", "Map name" and "MAP NAME" are not considered the same text by my function (obviously) which lead to a lot of... well, problems I guess.

Any idea on how to solve the problem ? I'm new to both lua/love 2d and game developpement in general, so please excuse-me if my question is a bit silly.
Also, I'm french so I hope my english is not too bad.

Thanks everybody !

Dont know much about about text input, but i guess you can transform the string thats giving you troubles all to UPPERCASE or all to lowercase so you dont have to worry about that.

Its a workaround, hope it helps

Be aware that, as far as i know, string:lower() and string:upper() only consider the 7-bit ASCII (or at most, the 8bit extended range of the currently used locale) range of characters, and it won't work on utf-8 codepoints since they can be multi-byte which the functions don't support.

(Note that Löve and LuaJIT itself, that löve uses by default, does have basic support for utf8 strings and some methods with them, but no advanced functionality like case conversion methods, for example.)
