I've always wondered if there was a function to "decapitalize" all the letters of files contained in a directory.

For example, I have the directory "C:\Text" where there are 2 files "TextPrivate.TXT" and "TextCTCDDB.txt".

Is there a function or something to rename all files in the directory ("testprivate.txt" and "textctcddb.txt")?

The function should work even if there are hundreds of files (logically enough).

Thanks!

Well, there are a couple of Freeware Utilities (batch Renamer) around, but I don't know if de-capitalizing Filenames is among their features.

Thanks!
But, as you say, there is no such function.
I found Oscar's Renamer which has it (www.mediachance.com): "upper case" tab and that's it!

:)

How about this?

Lupas Rename
Lupas Rename is a very powerful and well designed software that allows you to perform advanced renaming operations on large numbers of files. It offers so many features, that we cannot even list half of them here, but here are some of the renaming options: Replace the name by Other, Replace a substring by other with Matchcase Optional, Crop n Chars (Left and/or Right), Insert any string before and/or after the Filename, Convert to Upper Case or Lower Case (filename), Convert to Upper only the First Letter Of Any Word (filename) , Convert to Lower oNLY tHE fIRST lLETTER (filename), Replace the extension by any other and many more. Even though it offers a ton of features, the interface is compact and easy to use. Lupas Rename can also create batch files based on your renaming operation, which allows you to automate the task in the future. The program integrates into the Windows shell for easy access from the right click menu.

Yes, that's the function I was looking for!

But I think I'll keep Oscar's Renamer, which is smaller and thus perfect for my old Pentium PC (small capacity).
