That one isn't cryptic enough. Too easy to
understand.... ;-) ;-) ;-)
Put the following in a file called "fcase" and the
do a "chmod +x fcase" :
--------------------CUT---------------------
#!/bin/bash
#
Usage () {
echo "Usage: fcase u|l <files> ..."
echo " l = lowercase files"
echo " u = uppercase files"
exit 1
}
[ $# -le 1 ] && Usage
C=$1
shift
[ ${C%[ul]} ] && Usage
for F in $*
do
[ -e $F ] || {
echo "file not found: $F"
continue
}
D=${F%/*}
N=${F##*/}
case $C in
u) NN=$(echo $N | tr a-z A-Z) ;;
l) NN=$(echo $N | tr A-Z a-z) ;;
esac
[ ${N%$NN} ] || {
echo "no change: $NN"
continue
}
mv -v $D/{$N,$NN}
done
# End
--------------------CUT---------------------
