Hello list,
I've got a ton of files that have half capital letters, etc etc.
I was wondering if there was a program that would go through and make my file names lowercase, (only on a selected folder), and put an _ between the spaces.
Thanks,
~~TheCreator~~

My choice would be to replace the spaces with underline characters.
However, you indicated that you wanted space characters to be replaced
with ' _ ' strings--to each his own, I guess. This little script
should do what you want (I hope). Use at your own risk.
#!/bin/bash
#win2lin.sh
#converts Windblows file names to Linux file names
#Spaces in file names are translated to ' _ '
#upper case letters in file names are converted to lower case
#This script only performs conversions in the current directory--no
#directory tree traversal is provided.
#Use this script at your own risk.
function win2lin_func {
for i in *
do
newname=`echo $i | tr [A-Z] [a-z] | sed "s/ / _ /g"`
if [ "$newname" != "$i" ]; then
echo Renaming \"$i\" to \"$newname\"
mv -i "$i" "$newname"
fi
done
}
#mainline code
#check for a single command line parameter
if [ "$#" != "1" ]; then
echo Usage $0:
echo $0 param/
echo where param is the directory where files are to be renamed
echo "(be sure to include the trailing /)."
exit 1
fi
#process the file names
win2lin_func
#end of win2lin script
HTH, and have a _great_ day!
