I work in a factory where we use a software to control the operation of the machines. Sometimes, we need to deviate from the normal flow of the software 'recipes' - and we do this via what is called an 'unlock' or a 'bypass'.

When we select the option to do this in the recipe on the computer, a dialog box appear and prompts the user to type in what they are performing - an 'unlock' or a 'bypass'.

However, this dialog box is not case sensitive.

If we take the word 'Unlock' - and account for all Upper & Lower Case variations of each character in that word - that's 64 different ways of writing the word 'Unlock'. (e.g. Unlock, unlock, UNLOCK, unlocK, UnLoCk, uNlOcK etc.)

Is there any way for me to select all entries with the word 'Unlock' through all variations of case for each character in that word?

Also:

  • Is it possible to select all entries that have the Word 'unlocK' with an Uppercase 'K'? (Assuming the User always writes the 'K' as the last character of 'unlocK'.)
  • Is it possible to account for an accidental space in the word 'unlock'. For example, if somebody types 'un lock'?

The Table in the Database is know as CO_EXCEPT_TEXT_LG and the Column name is called 'EXPLANATION'.
