What a great list!
Not the one I originally used, but a good example all the same: http://tlug.dnho.net/?q=node/198 gives: #!/bin/sh for i in ./* ; do if [[ `echo "$i" | grep -r '_' | grep -v 'm3u'` ]] then # mv "$i" "`echo "$i" | sed 's/_/\ /g' | perl -p -e 's/(\\w+)/\\u\\L$1/g;' | sed 's/Mp3/mp3/g'`"; echo "`echo "$i" | sed 's/_/\ /g' | perl -p -e 's/(\\w+)/\\u\\L$1/g;' | sed 's/Mp3/mp3/g'`"; fi done The above script will give test output to ensure that this is what you want, to make the changes, do the following: #!/bin/sh for i in ./* ; do if [[ `echo "$i" | grep -r '_' | grep -v 'm3u'` ]] then mv "$i" "`echo "$i" | sed 's/_/\ /g' | perl -p -e 's/(\\w+)/\\u\\L$1/g;' | sed 's/Mp3/mp3/g'`"; # echo "`echo "$i" | sed 's/_/\ /g' | perl -p -e 's/(\\w+)/\\u\\L$1/g;' | sed 's/Mp3/mp3/g'`"; fi done If you put this into a file called "rename.sh" and chmod +x rename.sh you can then run the script (./rename.sh) Hope this helps, Matt -- Matthew Macdonald-Wallace Lug-Master (http://www.thanet.lug.org.uk), Dad (http://www.helpmeimadad.com/), Ubuntu User( http://www.ubuntu.com/) -- ubuntu-uk@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-uk https://wiki.kubuntu.org/UKTeam/
