File name case changer software?
Jasper - 20/2/06 at 03:25 PM

I need a bit of software to batch convert file names and extensions from Upper to Lower case.

Any ideas?

What exactly do you want it todo?

im sure i could probably knock something together for you if its not too complicated.

I'll try those, thanks chaps.

All I want to do is put in lower case the file names of images I then put on my web site, as the web site only likes lower case names, and many of my suppliers use uppercase names for the images.

I also need it to change the case of the file extension, in this case .JPG to .jpg when necessary for the same reason.

Very easy to do in vbscript.

create a new text file.
Paste the following text into it. 

code:
 

set fso = createobject("scripting.filesystemobject"  

Function GetPath  

 path = WScript.ScriptFullName  

 GetPath = Left(path, InstrRev(path, "")  

End Function  

path2 = GetPath  

folder = Left(path2, (Len(path2)-1))  

set folder = fso.GetFolder(folder)  

set files = folder.Files  

s = ""  

vCount = 0  

for each file in files  

 vCount = vCount + 1  

 ReDim Preserve arFiles(vCount)  

 Set arFiles(vCount) = file  

 tempfilename = LCase(arFiles(vCount).name)  

 file.name = "temp" & vCount  

 file.name = tempfilename  

next


save the file as casechange.vbs

copy the file into the folder that has the files in it you want to change.
open a command prompt window and change to that folder.
type 
code:
cscript casechange.vbs


If you want me to explain what it does then no problems, otherwise it will step through every file in the current folder changing every upper case letter to lower case without you needing to do anything!

Here's something i knocked up while i was having my lunch.

Should be fairly self explanitory.

Looks good but did not work for me..........couldn't click the OK after selecting file or folder....
