Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All
after looking around the website and various other resources I become stuck. I'm trying to rename directories from

Firstname Initial Lastname to lastname,_firstname_initial

so far ive got

for f in {./}
do

rename -n 'y/A-Z/a-z/' *
rename -n 's/\ /_/g' *
done

This is working well at removing the capital letters and deleting the spaces in the directory names, I just can't work out how to reverse the order of the names.

I was looking at

name=${f}
last=${name%\w+}

not to sure how to get the rest of it together.

thanks for any assistance

This should work (replace the mv by echo for testing!)

Thanks for that your code worked great.
