you can go for switch also...

java

switch(character)
{
  case 'a' : // fall through
  case 'A' : callFunctionForCaseA();
                break;
  case 'b' : // fall through
  case 'B' : callFunctionForCaseB();
                break;
  case 'c' : // fall through
  case 'C' : callFunctionForCaseC();
                break;
  .
  .
  .
  case 'z' : // fall through
  case 'Z' : callFunctionForCaseZ();
                break;
}


I hope this will help you. smile.gif

or convert it to lowercase, than you only have to check it for equality with the lower-case letter.
