Way to uncapitalize all files in *nix?

[Entity]

I'm looking to move a bunch of files using capital letters to a different location, and make all of them uncapitalized. Is there any way to write a script to do this, without PERL?

thanks

Look for a little program called mmv. It'll do what you're asking.

Easy.

for file in `ls`; do mv $file `echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` ; done

Careful with the back quotes. Also, it will give you a warning/error if the file is already in lower case or if the file in lower case exists.

Cureless,

What app would I put that command in? Commandline doesn't work.

open editor:

#!/bin/sh
for file in `ls`; do mv $file `echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` ; done

make it executable, name it, run it. ./<name>
