Upper case

Upper case

[Mircea Damian]

Hello,

I was wondering yesterday if there is a simple way to rename all my song
files(mp3) from


name with spaces.mp3   ->  Name With Spaces.mp3

with something like:
for i in *.mp3; do 
mv -v $i (UNKNOWN_PART_TO_ME)
done


I tried using sed there but with no luck. Can anyone give me a clue here?

One way:
	mv $i ${${(C)i}:s/Mp3/mp3/}

:done

Thanks a lot! I've seen "C" in the manual but I thought it would capitalize
all letters. That was a wrong thought! Thanks again!

It is far better than the perl RE that I used:
s/(?:^|(?<=\s))(\w)(\w+)(?:$|(?=\.)|(?=\s))/uc($1).$2/ge

Hello all,

It shouldnt bother you, guys, to recieve some too simple questions from time to time hen? :)

I tried the solution :

for i in *.ps; do
mv  $i ${${(C)i}:s/ch/chap/}
done

I had these .ps files :

evol.ch2.37p.ps evol.ch3.54p.ps evol.intro.3p.ps  evol.ch1.13p.ps

my zsh command changed them to :

Evol.Evol.Ch3.54p.Ps  Ch1.13p.Ps Evol.Ch2.37p.Ps Evol.Intro.3p.Ps

I am using ZSH_VERSION=3.1.2 on solaris 7.

Yes, sorry, didnt read in man page on this, just hoped to learn this one w/o any efforts :)

Thanx.
Mohamed.

Could someone explain this one to me, piece by piece? Obviously,
s/Mp3/mp3 does a substitution but what is ${${(C)i}} all about?

Sorry, I now got the point and fixed it :

# ls *.ps
evol.ch1.13p.ps   evol.ch2.37p.ps   evol.ch3.54p.ps

# for i in *.ps; do
mv $i ${i:s/ch/chap/}
done

# ls *.ps
evol.chap1.13p.ps  evol.chap2.37p.ps  evol.chap3.54p.ps
