Rename a bunch of files?

[timswim78]

I setup a little website using PHP Gallery software that allows my computer illiterate friend to upload his pictures into a nice little gallery. The only problem is that the software requires that the files end in lowercase letters (.jpg), and his camera automatically copies his files with an uppercase extension (.JPG). What is the simplest way to do the conversion from uppercase to lower case. Preferrably, a batch file that would rename all .JPG's on his hard drive to .jpg. Any other ideas?

THANKS!

Don't know about the batch file, but there are programs like Flash Renamer that could simplify this task.

DOS was dead a long time ago, the fact that NT comes with a CLI doesn't mean it has any correlation to DOS other than some commands for backwards compatibility.

I suggest you take a look at 1-4a-Rename a simple, freeware file renamer which can do all sorts of file renaming no matter how complex. It doesn't need to be installed as it is just one small exe file.

Alright, smart guy. How's this: Remembering your DOS commands will always be a good thing. :roll:

you could do it with php right after he uploads the files too.
php rename

I despise most of them, but they can come in handy in rescue situations if you don't have a Knoppix or BartPE disc handy. I tend to install cygwin or unxutils when I'm forced to use a Windows machine.
