Following is the test case: ---------start---------- C:\>set lowercase=Windows Variable C:\>echo %lowercase% Windows Variable C:\>which env /usr/bin/env C:\>env | grep -i lowercase LOWERCASE=Windows Variable ---------end---------- Because of this behavior the shell scripts are not recognizing $lowercase variable. Is this the regular expected behavior? Is there any way to get the case preserved?
