Linux: lowercasing the filenames

I really hate uppercase when it comes to filenames. It’s really simple to translate words to lowercase using perl’s “tr”.

  my @FILES=`ls /path/to/bignames`;
  foreach my $line (@FILES){
    $line=trim($line);
 
  	if ($line ne "" && $line !~ /^./ && $line =~ /[A-Z]+/) {
  	  my $smalline = $line;
	    $smalline =~ tr/[A-Z]/[a-z]/;
      $out=`mv -v $line $smalline`;
    }

and this is the complete rename-to-lowercase script.

Please read terms of use before downloading the script(s)
