I'm running bash, and I recently wanted to change a bunch of filenames
in a directory based on a glob: changing *.JPG to *.jpg . I knew that
mv *.JPG *.jpg
wouldn't cut it, but the solution I ultimately used seems really
cumbersome:
for NAME in *.JPG; do mv $NAME `echo $NAME | sed -e 's/JPG/jpg/'`; done
There's a more elegant solution, right?
Thanks, Matt
