you can also use the tr command to translate files. tr [A-Z] [a-z] is usually what I use. example: for file in *.JPG; do lowercase="`echo $file | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`" mv $file $lowercase; done --------------------------------------------------- PLUG-discuss mailing list - PLUG-discuss@lists.plug.phoenix.az.us To subscribe, unsubscribe, or to change you mail settings: http://lists.PLUG.phoenix.az.us/mailman/listinfo/plug-discuss
