Rename directories to lowercase

Using a single (and somewhat simple) shell line, you can rename any directory to its lowercase version.

for i in *; do lcase=`echo $i | tr A-Z a-z`; if [ ! -d $lcase ]; then mv $i $lcase; fi; done;

Viva el chell !

Using a single (and somewhat simple) ruby shell line, you can rename any file to its lowercase version.

 Dir.new('.').entries.each{|f| File.rename(f,f.downcase) if !(f =~ /(\.|\.\.)/) and File.directory?(f) }

Viva el ruby chell !
