copy files and make all filenames uppercase

Hello,

Is there any way to convert filename in uppercase while copying them to another directory?

Thank you.

Sure -- something like:

for i in `ls *`; do cp $i /new/directory/`echo $i | tr [a-z] [A-Z]` ; done

This assumes that all your files are in one directory with no subdirectories, and that the place you want to copy them to is /new/directory.
