$begingroup$
Consider an example list with mixed element types, e.g.:
list = 1.234 , a[2] , "Abc" , 4/5 , "acb" ;
I would like to have a function that finds the position of a string, without regard to upper or lower characters, e.g.:
findPosition[list,"abc"]
3,1
Is there a function like that in Mathematica? Or maybe one can implement it with efficient performance?
EDIT:
My current workaround is:
findPosition[list_,str_]:=Position[list/.x_String:>ToLowerCase[x],ToLowerCase[str]]

Recall that StringMatchQ[] has the IgnoreCase option:
Position[1.234, a[2], "Abc", 4/5, "acb",
s_String /; StringMatchQ[s, "abc", IgnoreCase -> True]]
3, 1

Note that ToLowerCase does not evaluate if the input is not a string, but it is Listable, so it will thread over your list:
list = 1.234, a[2], "Abc", 4/5, "acb";
ToLowerCase[list]
(* Out: ToLowerCase[1.234], ToLowerCase[a[2]], "abc", ToLowerCase[4/5], "acb" *)
That should not bother you though; it certainly does not bother Position:
Position[ToLowerCase[list], "abc"]
(* Out: 3, 1 *)
