Rename files

aadi_uni · #1 (**permalink**) 4 Days Ago

I wrote a script that accepts filenames as argument but I am having difficulty if filename has both(uper/lower) cases..so I want to write a script that accepts one or more filenames as arguments and converts filenames to uppercase..(actually rename files..)
