Changing the case of file names and directories

[linedancer888]

Hello,

I have a directory structure with many files and directories. I need to change all these directory and file names from lower case to upper without going into each directory.

Thanks

Try the following:

find . -depth | perl -n -e 'next unless /[a-z]/; print; s<([^/]+$)><\U$1>; print' | xargs -n2 mv

Try this without mv first, just to make sure it looks OK for your system:

find . -depth | perl -n -e 'next unless /[a-z]/; print; s<([^/]+$)><\U$1>; print' | xargs -n2

Cheers, Neil
