One-liner example:
for file in * ; do lcfile=`echo $file|tr [A-Z] [a-z]`; echo $file will be $lcfile;done
Of course, use $file and $lcfile as you would like to, with mv $file $lcfile if you dare to

That made my .doc files into readable .html files by using mswordview,
but
bash is not easy...

1)
I managed to make a command, which changes some extensions (coming from
bad copying from dos) like .JPG into .jpg by doing:
for file in *.JPG; do cp $file ${file%.JPG}.jpg; done
So I got my files like:
picture1.JPG
picture123.JPG
etc
into:
picture1.jpg
picture123.jpg
etc

2) But when I have got files like this
NODE23.HTM
NODE13.HTM
NODE79.HTM
etc
How can I make the names into:
node23.html
node13.html
node79.html
etc
It isn't so difficult to change the extension,
but how to change with one command all the beginnings of the names to
start with noncapital letters (or in general change the beginnings on
the
filenames)?
