Hi to all.
My goal is to rename several files in such a way as to
decapitalize starting letters in their names. The solution
seems to be simple but I'm stuck. What should I use? awk/sed or
write some shell-script?
This assumes tcsh:
foreach i (`ls [A-Z][a-z]*`) mv $i `echo $i|tr 'A-Z' 'a-z'` end
tr will decapitalize all the letters in the string.
You can replace it with the following sed then sed s/^[A-Z]/[a-z]/
In bash shell:
$ echo AsD | sed s/^[A-Z]/[a-z]/
[a-z]sD
I thought about this while sending earlier reply, but was unable to
get it working properly.
regards,
shantanoo
