/slackware/ - Slackware Linux

One of the scripts I've used a lot in the past is chcase. I still use it to this day, but with less frequency.

It is a perl script for renaming files. Slackware comes with "rename" if you want something else.

chcase $VERSION
USAGE:
chcase [-terdlouCcqn] [-x '<perl exp>'] FILE...

       -t       : Test mode (don't actually rename any files)
       -e       : Print examples
       -r       : Rename recursively
       -d       : Also rename directories
       -l       : Rename & follow symbolic links (default is not to)
       -o       : Overwrite if file exists
       -u       : Change to uppercase (default is lower)
       -C       : Capitalize each word
       -c       : Capitalize first character only
       -q       : Quiet mode (no output)
       -n       : No escape characters (for bold/inverse output)
-x '<perl exp>' : Perl expression to operate on filename
                  like s/// or tr///  (you need the quotes)
                  case of filename not changed when this option used

print<<EOT;

chcase $VERSION
EXAMPLES:
\$ chcase My.DOC *.JPG /tmp/FileName.txt
  => files are changed to lowercase

\$ chcase -rdt .
  => show what would happen if we renamed all files and sub dirs
     recursively in pwd to lowercase; remove t to do it for real

\$ chcase -rdoc /some/dir ./images/ *png
  => files and dirs recursively capitalized,
     overwrite any existing already capitalized file

\$ chcase -x 's/projectx/PlanB/; s/ /_/g' *.doc
  => renames *.doc files substituting "projectx" with "PlanB",
     and replacing all spaces with underscores

\$ find ./music/ -name "*mp3" | xargs chcase -x 'tr/a-zA-Z0-9.-_/_/cs'
  => find mp3 files under music/ dir, transliterate (and squash)
     non-alphanumeric characters except for . or - to _
