upper case letter

Hi!
Burned a dir in Mandrake but when i copied it to my windows distribution all directorys where written in upper case letter. Is there any way to convert the directory names to common letters?

By "common letters" I assume you mean lowercase?

You could apply the toupper() function from a bash script (which works as toupper or tolower to change case from upper to lower or lower to upper.

Yes, to lower case letters.
From a bash script? Ok how would i do ttah???

Thank you for your time.

Code:

for a in *
do
    mv $a $(echo $a | sed 's/.*/\L&/')
    # or
    mv $a $(echo $a | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]')
done

tr is more obvious; the sed trick is a little more obscure, but can earn the admiration of others.
