Yogi, In this case, Shridhar is quite right . If you need to
convert filenames from lower to upper in a dir, you would
need a script ... "tr" is well suited for the conversion job
(as well as sed), but not in a position to rewrite the file
in upper case within the same directory. For this "mv" would
be needed. A script to this effect is placed below:
------------<snip>-----------
#!/bin/sh
for i in `ls *.txt`; do
NEWFNAME=`echo $i | tr -t [:lower:] [:upper:]`
mv $i $NEWFNAME
done
-----------</snip>-----------
Please note the space between [:upper:] and [:lower:] for it
to be identified as two strings under 'tr'.
Secondly, kindly avoid using unauthorised abbreviations in
your mail, beyond what is there in the Hacker's Jargon.
