Unix Tip #4394- March 22, 2024

FILNAMES UPPER TO LOWER


This script can be used to
renames all the file in
current directory with
UPPERCASE letters to lowercase.

I uses it because some time when
I try to upload some files from
a Windows system to a unix based
web server, the files somehow gets
converted to UPPERCASES, which is
undesirable.

###########################

for uppercase in `ls`
do
for lowercase in `ls $uppercase|tr [A-Z] [a-z]`
do
mv $lowercase $uppercase 2>/dev/null
done
done
