I issued the equivalent of the UNIX commands "rename 'tr /A-Z/a-z/' *" which will change all file names in the current directory from upper to lower case. In PERL this looks like "$foobar=~tr/A-Z/a-z/;" which will change the case of foobar's name from upper to lower. "tr" is the translate command. ----------------------------------------------------------------------- Gregory Decker National Institutes of Health/DCRT/NSB PH: 301-402-4763 FAX: 301-480-6041 EMail: [log in to unmask] -----------------------------------------------------------------------
