WARNING: I have had files disappear on me when using such a script when the
target filesystem is on a Win32 machine. It is safer to rename them via an
intermediate name:
for file in $*
do
to=`echo $file | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
mv $file $to.newone;mv $to.newone $to
done

Greetings,
Trying to automate work done by some WIN95/NT people who don't
understand
upper/lower case. I have a directory of files that are upper case and need
to be brought to lower case. Does anyones have a program or script that
could help me do about 400 files?
Thanks,
