Mass File Renamer: Changing Cases(Upper/Lower)

Posted 09-13-2008 at 10:50 PM by ghostdog74

Code:
#!/bin/bash
## Change file names into uppper/lower case, or by position.
NO_ARGS=0 
E_OPTERROR=65
DEBUG=0
UPPER=0
FNAME="f"
maxdepth=1
directory=`pwd`
set -o noglob
#---- Functions ------------#

usage() {
 printf "Usage: `basename $0` [-D directory] [-M depth] [-U ] [-p pattern] [-c position ][-d] [-X] [filename(s)]\n"
 cat << EOF
        -D : starting directory. Default=current directory
        -M : max depth to recurse subdirectories (default=1), eg 1,2
        -U : Change all letters to upper case. Default: change to all lower case
        -c position : Change character at position to upper or lower (-U or -L)
        -p pattern: Change the word matched by pattern to upper/lower case
        -d : Debugging mode. Used to list all files to be changed, without changes taking effect
        -X : Only check directory names, not file names
        filename(s) : file names eg "*.txt". If omitted, default to all files. Use quotes.
        Example: 
        1) -U -p file "*.txt" ===> change all name of text files with pattern "file" to upper case.
        2) -U -c 10 "*.txt" ===> change the 10th character to upper case
        3) -c 2 "*FILE*" ===> change the 2nd character to lower case for all files with pattern "FILE" in file name.
EOF

Usage:

The script makes use of GNU find/awk. Maximum depth value passed to "find" is set to default 1 level. Issue -M <level> to recurse more than 1 level of subdirectories. File types is set to search for files by default. Issue -X to search for directory names. If -D <directory> is omitted, the script searches from current working directory onwards.
Use -U ( or omit for lower case) for changing to upper case.

# Execute the script name without any arguments to show help.
> ./script.sh

# To see results before making actual changes, use the -d switch.
> ./script.sh -D /path/1 -U -p image -d "*.txt"

# To search text files in directories for 2 levels and change word "file" in their file names to Upper case
> ./script.sh -D /path/1 -M 2 -U -p "file" -d "*.txt"

# To search text files in current directory and change word "FILE" in their file names to lower case
> ./script.sh -p "FILE" "*.txt"

# To search text files in current directory and change the first character of each text file name to upper case
> ./script.sh -U -c 1 "*.txt"

# To search text files in current directory and change the last 2nd character onwards of each text file name to lower case
> ./script.sh -c -2 "*.txt"

# To rename all file names to capital letters
> ./script.sh -U -p ".*" "*.txt"

# To rename all file names to lower case letters
> ./script.sh -p ".*" "*.txt"
