Subject: Case sensitive strings

Hi all,

This is one of those annoying ones, but simple to solve I would imagine.

I have a word list, where each entry is on a single line and in
lowercase. I process this text file reading each word

words.each |word|
etc etc

I then have a conditional statement to check if a value matches word eg

if foo == word
  puts foo
end

This all works well, but I am stuck on how to deal with upper and
lowercase. I want to check if foo is equal to word in lowercase and in
uppercase.

What is the best way to do this?

Many thanks

Stuart
