Ignoring capital letters when checking if a string contains a word

Question

I don't know, but for the life of me I can't seem to figure out/find out how to make it so when i'm checking to see if a string contains a certain word, it ignores the capital letters within the word.

Thanks in advanced! ~Sean

You can convert the comparing string to lowercase.

String s = "ABC";
if (s.toLowerCase().contains("abc")); //returns true

But if it were me..

s.equalsIgnoreCase("abc");

can be used if you're comparing the entire String. Which is fine.

But in general, Google these types of questions first. There are millions of answers for this exact question.
