Re: [SLUG] covert lowercase to uppercase.
maybe something like this might do the trick: ls | while read NAME; do mv "$NAME" "`echo $NAME | tr [A-Z] [a-z]`"; done (It works from my bash shell, I can't see why it won't work from other shells too) Regards John On Monday 20 November 2000 16:44, Alister Waller wrote: hi, I need to convert lowercase filenames to uppercase. its actually on a SCO box so something kinda generic would be nice. regards Alister Waller (B.
