Now I feed your script (for example) the argument "/Foo/BAR/baz/File1.c"?

Lose.

How about:

#!/bin/sh

dirname="`echo ${file} | sed -e 's/\/[^\/]*$//'`"
basename="`echo ${file} | sed -e 's/.*\/$[^\/]*$$/\1/'`"
new_basename="`echo ${basename} | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`"
if test "z${basename}" = "z${file}" ; then
newname="${new_basename}"
else
newname="${dirname}/${new_basename}"
fi
if test "z${newname}" = "z${file}" ; then
:
else
echo mv "${file}" "${newname}"
fi
done

This is as portable a shell script as you're ever going to see, and it
handle arbitrary filenames correctly, including weird ones with spaces,
etc. in them.

Here's a little script I wrote to handle such things.

for file in $*
do
mv -f $file `echo $file | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'` 2>/dev/null 1>&2
done

swap the [A-Z] and [a-z] for uppercase/lowercase.

Quote:> echo mv "${file}" "${newname}"

Argh! And take out the `echo', too.

Whoops, there's always one more bug. The following should actually work
as advertised:

#!/bin/sh

dirname="`echo \"${file}\" | sed -e 's/\/[^\/]*$//'`"
basename="`echo \"${file}\" | sed -e 's/.*\/$[^\/]*$$/\1/'`"
new_basename="`echo \"${basename}\" | tr '[A-Z]' '[a-z]'`"
if test "z${basename}" = "z${file}" ; then
newname="${new_basename}"
else
newname="${dirname}/${new_basename}"
fi
if test "z${newname}" = "z${file}" ; then
:
else
echo mv "${file}" "${newname}"
fi
done

It does not handle iso_8859_1 characters correctly...

in tcsh:

foreach file (*)
if ("$file:h" != "$file") then
set nfile="$file:h/$file:t:al"
else
set nfile="$file:al"
endif
mv "$file" "$nfile"
end
