changing uppercase to lowercase filenames

[impulse24]

Hi All,

I have tons of files that are named with uppercase, and I would like to convert to lowercase. What is the easiest way to do this? Thought maybe with sed, but was hoping there's an easier way.

You could use tr to translate the name in a script.

for infile=`ls`
do
newname=`echo $infile | tr "[:upper:]" "[:lower:]"`
mv $infile $newname
done


Hope this helps.
