I think it's best done with an example
Contents of my file
name="apple" parameter1="value1" parameter2="value2";
name="orange" parameter1="value1" parameter2="value2";
name="tea" parameter1="value1" parameter2="value2";
name="whatever" parameter1="value1" parameter2="value2";
I want to convert apple/orange/tea/whatever to uppercase and saved it back to the same file or a new one.
Any ideas on how it can be done? Thanks
edit:
- all contents in the file are included but at the moment there are no lines that will be exluded.
- Also, the text "name" has no quotes around it. It is saved as written above.

Are there commented out versions, and should they be changed or not? Can names have quoted in them, and how?
