[Malvern] One for the Perl-mongers.

[Angus Clarke]

I havent tried it but a little script like this should work:

<-- snip
#! /bin/bash

DIR=/dir/to/files   # Change this!

cd ${DIR}
for FILE in `ls`
do
  NEWNAME=`echo ${FILE} | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]`
  echo "Renaming ${FILE} to ${NEWNAME}"
  mv ${FILE} ${NEWNAME}
done
<-- snip

Regards
Angus
