Mass rename of files

[sidebrnz]

I just downloaded a copy of the Old Testament onto my laptop from the Windows side of my desktop. Alas, all of the links are in lower case and all of the file names came across in upper. Can anybody suggest a way to rename all of the files in a directory to be in lower case instead of upper?

You could use a script like this:

#!/bin/bash
for file in `ls -1`
do
    filelo=`echo $file | awk '{print tolower($0)}'`
    mv $file $filelo
done

That script worked just fine. Thanx! I presume there's a toupper funcion as well if I ever need it?
