ABCD-PORT

so they've never heard of ToUpper/ToLower despite the 50 million implementations of it? They could've added/subtracted 32 if using ascii check and/or convert the damn letters without a function call..

A + 32 = a

If something this simple fixes my issues playing, I will be sad..

Worked for me.
all upper case ABC5-234D--PUH7 and so on
just putting it in lower case would not work for me.
You must put the dash ( - ) as well
