So I'm wanting to find out what the command line would look like to copy the text contained in a file, convert the whole thing to upper-case and paste that into a new file with a given name.
I'm very new to Linux so I've been running through a few lists of commands and existing questions but I couldn't find anything which answered this.
Thanks

Thanks, just to check my understanding... if i had File1 and I wanted to create a new file called File2 with the translated text in it I would write: tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]' < File1 > File2 ?
– True_False_AX10M
Apr 23 at 15:27
yes it will translate all the text in file1 and create a file file2 with upper case converted text of the file1.

@Barmar yes it is. I just wanted to ensure I was understanding the formatting correctly and that the input output bits I would simply replace with the file names.
