Case

Hi all,

Is there anyway of automatically changing the case of file names? I've got a whole bunch of files and I need to convert their file names to lower case. Is their any quick way of doing this?

Many thanks,

There are probably simpler ways of doing this but this line should do the job:

Code:

for foo in *; do mv $foo $(echo $foo | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]); done

hint: put all the files you wish to convert in one directory
