Hi

May be a job for zmv ....

# zmv "programmable rename"
autoload -U zmv
# Replace spaces in filenames with a underline
zmv '* *' '$f:gs/ /_'
zmv '(* *)' '${1// /}'
zmv -Q "(**/)(* *)(D)" "\$1\${2// /_}"
# Change the suffix from *.sh to *.pl
zmv -W '*.sh' '*.pl'
# lowercase/uppercase all files/directories
$ zmv '(*)' '${(L)1}' # lowercase
$ zmv '(*)' '${(U)1}' # uppercase
