[Tutor] Converting Filenames to Lower case
Hi, I'm interested in a writing a quick python script for use on the command line. I'm at the linux terminal inside a directory with a bunch of files. The files have mixed case (some are .JPG and some are .jpg, etc..) I'd like to be able to run a python script that will take all the files in the directory I'm in and convert all the filenames and extensions to lower case. Any ideas on where to look? I've fiddled quite a bit with very basic scripting but nothing to do with getting files from the current directory and processing their names. Can anybody point me in the right direction to get started? ___ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
