Re: Converting filenames to lowercase in a directory



Actually, I've been using tr for decades, but not in the really clever way that
folks showed me how to do it in this case.

However, I *did* miss your presentation.  Perhaps we could have it repeated at a
future SILUG (O'Fallon) meeting?  Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm?  8-)

Regards,
Charlie
