Re: Ken's grep question about renaming files to lowercase

texte = Ken,Speaking of unanswered questions, I think I have a partial solution to grepping your file names, however, I think you'd have to use an Applescript to do this in BBEdit because grep alone can't perform a change case function easily to a matched string. If anyone else knows otherwise, please let me know. This is the logic (working syntax will vary) for how I'd approach it in WebDNA:1. Match a filename using a regular expression such as ([0-9A-Za-z]+)\.(tpl|htm|html|dna|gif|jpg|png) You could turn off case sensitivity in WebDNA 5.0 so you wouldn't need to consider permutations of lower/uppercase characters. This assumes all file names are alphabetical or numerical characters only. 2. Replace it with the [lowercase]\1\.\2[/lowercase] of the match. You could do the same thing in Applescript, I just don't recall if there's a lowercase function as part of the default OSAX or if you need a special OSAX to do it. If you're using UNIX, you could use a shell script which may be easier to program for recursion, but I don't know how you'd lowercase the matching pattern in the shell. There's a tr command, but I'm not sure how to get it to operate on just the matching characters. Frankly I'd like to see a WebDNA solution to this because it has all of the components necessary except for easy file recursion.
