Not a single command, but a small combination of utils will do. [Solution for use with a Bourne shell, e.g. bash; a (t)csh solution is left as an exercise to the reader] 1. 'cd' to the appropriate directory 2. Do the following: for file in * ; do mv $file `echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` done Hope this helps, Ray -- Cyberspace, a final frontier.
