command to get the text value?

command to get the text value?

[Pablo Rodriguez]

Dear list,

sorry for writing again on the same topic. The issue is important and I
don’t know how to solve it.

I have a different sample:

    \def\firstcommand{AAA}
    \def\secondcommand{aaa}
    \starttext
    \doifelse{\word{\firstcommand}}
        {\secondcommand}{Equal}{Not equal}.
    \stoptext

I understand that A and a are different characters. Is there no command
to get the pure text from another command?

Or how could I get equal values in the sample above?

Many thanks for your help,


Pablo

if really needed i can write such a comparison but keep in mind that 
\word is not some simple string manipulator so you can never rely on 
such a comparison
