How do I write the command to find all files with any lower case letters in the filename? I have tried
find . -name *\(a-z\) and a lot of combinations like that, without success.
thanks

I tried looking for the answer online and came up with only a few semi-answers as to why file and directory names are case sensitive in Unix. Right off the bat, I'll say this doesn't bother me.

dirname
DIRNAME(3) 1 DIRNAME(3)dirname - Returns parent directory's pathSYNOPSIS
string dirname (string $path)
DESCRIPTION
Given a string containing the path of a file or directory, this function will return the parent directory's path.
PARAMETERS
o $path
- A path. On Windows, both slash ( /) and backslash ( ) are used as directory separator character. In other environments, it is
the forward slash ( /).
RETURN VALUES
Returns the path of the parent directory. If there are no slashes in $path, a dot (' .') is returned, indicating the current directory.
Otherwise, the returned string is $path with any trailing /component removed.
CHANGELOG
+--------+-------------------------------+
|Version | |
| | |
| | Description |
| | |
+--------+-------------------------------+
| 5.0.0 | |
| | |
| | dirname(3) is now binary safe |

EXAMPLES
Example #1
dirname(3) example
<?php
echo "1) " . dirname("/etc/passwd") . PHP_EOL; // 1) /etc
echo "2) " . dirname("/etc/") . PHP_EOL; // 2) / (or on Windows)
echo "3) " . dirname("."); // 3) .
?>
NOTES
Note
dirname(3) operates naively on the input string, and is not aware of the actual filesystem, or path components such as " ..".
Note
dirname(3) is locale aware, so for it to see the correct directory name with multibyte character paths, the matching locale must be
set using the setlocale(3) function.
Note
Since PHP 4.3.0, you will often get a slash or a dot back from dirname(3) in situations where the older functionality would have
given you the empty string.
Check the following change example:
<?php
//before PHP 4.3.0
dirname('c:/'); // returned '.'
//after PHP 4.3.0
dirname('c:/x'); // returns 'c:'
dirname('c:/Temp/x'); // returns 'c:/Temp'
dirname('/x'); // returns ''
?>
