==================================

Lower
http://www.csc.calpoly.edu/~bfriesen/software/console.shtml
Lower will rename a file or directory to its lowercase name. You can
use wildcards to specify multiple files. Because DOS is not case
sensitive, there is no 16-bit version.

Upper

Upper will rename a file or directory to its uppercase name. You can
use wildcards to specify multiple files. Because DOS is not case
sensitive, there is no 16-bit version.

Hello,

file with the new names?

I don't know any automated one, but "Oscar's File Renamer" is
near, edit filenames in text editor - with possibility to paste
from such a text file.

THE Rename

can you give me a hint? I see a "Text" tab, but help only tells me
it "will enable you to preview small text files". I don't see any
other option to do what is requested.

Hi Thorsten,

Check the help file - topic is "other options" scroll down to:

<q>
Rename from a list
This option let you open or create a list of files to rename. You can
import files from the files list by using the copy selected to list or
Copy all buttons. In the first column you have the new name for each
file and in the second column you have it's actual name. To edit a
filename, press F2 or click on it's name. You can also import a list of
files from a text file. In a such case, it must be a pure ASCII text
file and have to use the same convention that the list, that is to say :
New name Old Name
You have to put a tabulation between the two filenames and each line but
be ended by a new line separator (ASCII codes 13 and 10). If you want to
modify the character to delimit words (the tabulation by default, go in
the options tab Other). Some options are only available in the
contextual menu of the list. To see them, make a right click on the list
containing the selected files (not on the files list)
</q>

I only recall renaming from a list once. IIRC I stumbled around for a
while but the renaming itself was very easy to do - once I got the
instructions figured out.

thanks for explaining. I found this difficult to find too. And I
think, I'll stick with "Oscar's File Renamer" ;-)
