Convert character case command.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a command to covert the character case. I think there is a command who do this kind of thing but i can't remumber it name.

Issue:
I have many files with some uper case character in it (which i don't want)

EX:

Code:

myfiLe.TXT

OneOtherFile.ExtEntIon

And i want them to be like as follow:

Code:

myfile.txt

oneotherfile.extention

Kind regards,
Angel.

Hi,

There are more ways of doing this, here are 2:

awk '{ print tolower($0)}' infile

or

tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]' < infile

Hope this helps.

Straight from the rename man page:

To translate uppercase names to lower, you’d use

rename ’y/A-Z/a-z/’ *
