On my debian system I have the rename program, but I remember if it was in its own package or not. I think it will do what you want fairly easily. You can try the following. rename 'tr/A-Z/a-z/' * That renames everything in a directory, but not recursively. I have found rename to ve invaluable when dealing with lots of files which need to conform to a naming convension. Good luck. - -- Unix is a user friendly operating system.
