This is just a minor thing, focusing on the look of the code. I''m trying to get multiple case instances to work. This is what I used before, but now its useless case ''a'', ''A'': break; But it fails me. I googled and found this method case ''a'': ''A'': but it fails me too. So how do you do it?

switch (someValue)
{
  case ''A'':
  case ''a'':
    funcForA();
  break;
  case ''B'':
  case ''b'':
    funcForB();
  break;
  default:
    funcForDefaultChar();
  break;
}

Of course, you could also do this for characters:

  
switch (to_upper(someValue))
{
  case ''A'':
    funcForA();
  break;
  case ''B'':
    funcForB();
  break;
  ...
}

but you asked about multiple cases, not how to have only one case per upper and lower case characters.

Hey, thanks. That was awesome. I did not know about the uppercase working on lower case. I thought it was case sensitive.

It is case sensitive!
see the line in the second box:

switch (to_upper(someValue))

converting all to upper case
