How do I make a case-insensitive comparison in if
One of my batch files needs parameters, and the parameters need to ignore case, for example
-help and -HELP and -heLP etc. should all have the same effect
I don't want to write it like this
iif "%1"=="-help" goto help
if "%1"=="/help" goto help
if "%1"=="-HELP" goto help
if "%1"=="/HELP" goto help

I suggest the OP read the help more before asking questions
/I switch; if this switch is specified, it means that the string comparison
to be performed is case-insensitive.
/I can be used with IF in the string1==string2 form. These
comparisons are generic; the reason is that if string1 and string2 are both made up of numbers,
the strings will be converted to numbers and compared numerically.
