# Convert Character in Selection Range (Tutorial)

To convert characters in Selection Range, add the seventh line to our Tutorial macro:

##

### [JavaScript]

    document.selection.Text = "EmEditor supports macros.";
    document.selection.NewLine();
    document.selection.Text = "\tEmEditor is a text editor.";
    document.selection.CharLeft( false, 12 );
    document.selection.DeleteLeft( 15 );
    document.selection.CharRight( true, 9 );
    document.selection.ChangeCase( eeCaseUpperCase );

### [VBScript]

    document.selection.Text = "EmEditor supports macros."
    document.selection.NewLine
    document.selection.Text = Chr(9) & "EmEditor is a text editor."
    document.selection.CharLeft False, 12
    document.selection.DeleteLeft 15
    document.selection.CharRight True, 9
    document.selection.ChangeCase eeCaseUpperCase

Save the above macro and run it in a new EmEditor window. Notice that the characters of the selected text have converted to upper case: TEXT EDITor. ChangeCase Method takes an argument that specifies whether characters are to be converted to upper case or lower case. Similarly, the following methods are provided to convert characters in Selection Range. For further details, such as explanations of arguments that methods take, refer to each method.

ChangeCase | Convert characters to upper or lower case.
