Thanks Todd, this looks more like what I want, have a slight problem though as shown below with the output: usr/local/bin/chgcase: line 4: Â : command not found /usr/local/bin/chgcase: line 5: Â : command not found /usr/local/bin/chgcase: line 6: Â : command not found [EMAIL PROTECTED] ACDC - High Voltage]$ Made it executable, made a symbolic link from /home/chris to /usr/local/bin. When run chgcase *.MP3 *.mp3 the output is as above. I'm sure I've used this script before but I don't remembe how.
