CaseConverter

CaseConverter

CaseConverter is a *very* small utility for automatically converting file names in directory tree to lower/upper case.

Why on earth would I make such a thing? Well, I've ran into .zip files (downloadable mirrors of web sites, Quake 2 levels...) created on a Windoze machine (or some other wanna-be OS), in which the filenames have been in mixed case, but later referred to in lower case, and subsequently not found. (if you didn't know this, Unixes usually have case SeNsEtIvE file systems)

I wasn't about to manually rename them all, so I wrote a few lines of Java code to take care of it for me. I've placed it here just in case someone's interested.

It's a JAR file that can be extracted using the Java standard "jar" utility by typing

jar -xvf filename 
on the command line.

Here're the downloads:
