Re: Two questions: Moving Directories, Ctrl-Z
I'm having a similar issue with the mv command.
Take this directory on Win2000 Server, CYGWIN=tty ntsec, NTFS
[mike@mercury]~/tmp:{143}:$ ls -l
total 0
-rw-r--r-- 1 mike none 0 Mar 16 22:12 AbcDE.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 mike none 0 Mar 16 22:12 CdEfg.txt
-rw-r--r-- 1 mike none 0 Mar 16 22:12 MIKE.txt
-rwxr-xr-x 1 mike none 93 Mar 16 22:14 test.sh*
[mike@mercury]~/tmp:{144}:$ cat test.sh
#!/bin/sh
for file in *.txt; do
TMP=`echo $file | tr "[A-Z]" "[a-z]"`
mv $file $TMP
done
[mike@mercury]~/tmp:{145}:$ ./test.sh
mv: `AbcDE.txt' and `abcde.txt' are the same file
mv: `CdEfg.txt' and `cdefg.txt' are the same file
mv: `MIKE.txt' and `mike.txt' are the same file
I know I've used a script almost like this before to take uppercase file
names and make them all lower case.
