Ok, I was able to change all of my files to lower case. The problem is that some of the menus and scripts require upper case script or txtfile filenames and it's extremely inconsistent. I was hoping there was a way to create a symbolic link from lower case file names to upper case filenames, so that I wouldn't have to worry about that. It wouldn't need to be recursive.

Google Was my friend. I found:

shopt -s extglob
for file in *?([:upper:])* ; do
ln -s "$file" "${file,,}"
done

That's some serious unix-fu or google-fu since google help
you find it.

Amazing what you can do at the unix/linux commandline.

On 10 Jul 2024, Shurato said the following...

shopt -s extglob
for file in *?([:upper:])* ; do
ln -s "$file" "${file,,}"
done

That's nice, you probably could have made it a one-liner tho;

shopt -s extglob && for file in *([A-Z])*; do ln -s "$file" "${file,,}"; done

I love me a one-liner! =)
