Assuming there are no spaces in the names, something like: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cd $targetdir |
| 15 |
|
| 16 |
for n in *; do |
| 17 |
|
| 18 |
newname=`echo $n | tr -s 'A-Z' 'a-z'` |
| 19 |
mv $n $newname |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
done |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
should work. It might be possile to do the same using bash alone, but I'm |
| 24 |
too lazy to check now. |
