Question

I have a problem with a bash script…
I want to rename all files, folders and subfolders in a recursive manner, from
lower-case to upper-case (or viceversa).
I’ve wrote this script, but it doesn’t work.

find . -depth -iname \* -exec mv {} `echo {} | tr [:upper:] [:lower:]` \;

Any suggestions?
Thanks

Why not use a simple while-loop:

find testdir/ -depth | while read file; do NEWNAME=$(dirname "$file")/$(echo $(basename "$file") | tr '[:lower:]' '[:upper:]'); mv "$file" "$NEWNAME"; done
