I'm trying to rename some files that have the extension JPG to jpg. First thing I did was: bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~/Pictures/2004 $ mv *JPG *jpg mv: target `rosebud1.mod.jpg' is not a directory huh? i want to move file x to file y! who said anything about a directory? looked at the man page and tried it with the T option: bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~/Pictures/2004 $ mv -T *JPG *jpg mv: extra operand `100_0046.JPG' on the advice of others I tried: bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~/Pictures/2004 $ rename JPG jpg *JPG Bareword "JPG" not allowed while "strict subs" in use at (eval 1) line 1. I tried bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~/Pictures/2004 $ find *.JPG -exec rename .JPG .jpg {} \; syntax error at (eval 1) line 1, near "." <95 times> bmike1@Michaels-Laptop ~/Pictures/2004 $ and a few others. Why isn't mv moving a file name to another file name? -- :-)~MIKE~(-:
