The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

unix shell script about converting files name to lower case

Asked by zahmadian in Unix Systems Programming

Tags: shell, unix, script, case, lower

Hi Experts,

I am trying to write a shell script for converting upper case names of .cpp & .h files into lower case,
my script is checking if the file is not directory, if it was directory it will print a warning,
then it will check if the file name is not in lower case already, if it is, then it prints a warning message
and it checks also if there exists a file with same lower case name, if there was it will print a warning again,
at the end it will convert the name of the file into lower case.

could any one tell me that if this script is good enough and working , and also I thought in some places I need to quite the program but I dont know how to quite in Unix...

foreach file (*.cpp *.h) // loop for .cpp & .h file
if (-d $file )then // if the file is directory
echo 'Warning: $file is Directory' // print warning message
elseif (-f $file) then // else if it is file
set var=$file // set file to variable
// convert name of variable into lowercase and then give its value to newvar
set varnew=`echo var | sed 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/'`
if ($var==$varnew) then // compare the name when converted to lower case and the name at the beggining
echo '$file: file name aready in lower case!' // if same prints warning
// quite from the program
endif // end if
if (-e $varnew) then // check if any file with same name in lowercase exists
echo '$file = with lower case in exist, cant convert to lower case' // print warning
//quite
endif
mv $file $varnew // move value of varnew to file (change its name??)
endif
end
