Some times you want to rename a group of files to lower case from upper case.  This renaming can be achieved by using a shell script and a tr command which will translate upper case to lower case

Here is my version of the script to do the activity.

#The below for loop will take inputs from ls command will rename all

#the files which contains upper case to lower case except the script file it self.

for j in *

do

if [[ “$j” == “$0” ]]

then

echo “You can not move me”

else

org_file=$j

new_file=$(echo $j | tr [A-Z] [a-z])

echo “Moving $org_file –> $new_file”

mv $org_file $new_file

fi

done
