Simple user input capitalisation issue

How can I get a user's input, compare it to a string, and ignore any capitalisation differences between the two strings? I know the input bit, just the capitalisation bit im not sure about.

You can compare using .equalsIgnoreCase() ./run

String compareString = "thisISaSTRING";
String inputString = "THISisAstring";
if(compareString.equalsIgnoreCase(inputString)){
System.out.println("Yes!");
}

String compareString = "thisISaSTRING";
String inputString = "THISisAstring";
if(compareString.equalsIgnoreCase(inputString)){
System.out.println("Yes!");
}
