string shell command?

What is the bash command to make everything in the directory (in the filenames) lowercase??

Also, is there a website with a bunch of these type of commands?

Thanks

Not bash spesific, but an easy way to do it:

Code:

rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

is there a website where it displays all commands and their indepth help file to it?

hmm
i type rename 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *

and it doesn't return anyting, but it doesn't work :(

Works for me, it renames all files to lowercase.

ok, other way to do it:

Code:

for i in *; do mv $i `echo $i | tr A-Z a-z` ; done

hmm
i get this error :S

That is the correct output. Some files are just lowercase already. Rest of the files are now lowercase too.

and oh.. you seem to have spaces in your files..
