Example
Demonstrates a common use for string.lower - case-insensitive user input.
-- All keys in this table must be lowercase:
local products = {}
products.apple = "Buy an apple!"
products.banana = "Buy a bunch of bananas!"
products.tomato = "There's also tomatoes."
-- This function is case-insensitive, meaning "APPLE", "apple", and "APPle" are all the same.
function GetProduct(userinput)
return userinput, products[string.lower(userinput)]
end
-- Demonstration:
print(GetProduct("apple"))
print(GetProduct("Apple"))
print(GetProduct("APPLE"))
print()
print(GetProduct("banana"))
print(GetProduct("BaNaNa"))

APPLE Buy an apple!
banana Buy a bunch of bananas!
BaNaNa Buy a bunch of bananas!
