In the zsh
shell, you can do:
autoload zmv # best in ~/.zshrc
zmv '*' '${(L)f}'
(zmv
aborts if there are any conflict (like both a FILE
and File
files in the current directory) before doing any rename).
With mmv
:
mmv '*' '#l1'
With perl's rename
utility (sometimes called prename
):
rename '$_ = lc $_' ./*
In the bash
shell:
for f in *[[:upper:]]*; do
mv -i -- "$f" "${f,,}"
done
(-i
to ask before overwriting a file, but at the time of each rename).
In the ksh
, zsh
and bash
shells:
typeset -l f
for F in *[[:upper:]]*; do
f=$F
mv -i -- "$F" "$f"
done
Thank you very much
