hello list. i have a bunch of files with accented characters in their names, both upper- and lower case. i want to rename them using the non-accented equivalent. i thought that would be easy to do using something like tr. big mistake. confronted with accented characters, tr outputs garbage.
searching the web, i found this: "Although the tr command respects C locale environment variables, don't expect it to do anything sensible with UTF-8 documents, such as being able to replace lower-case accented characters with appropriate upper-case characters. The tr command works best with ASCII and the other standard C locales." i'm using es_UY.UTF8 and i can't make tr do anything useful. any ideas? best, lj
