Is there a way to batch rename files to lowercase?
Go to the directory and run the following command:
for /f "Tokens=*" %f in ('dir /l/b/a-d') do (rename "%f" "%f")
Here is the break-down in case someone wants to modify/improve :
-
for /f
- For every line -
"Tokens=*"
- Process each item in every line. -
%f in (...)
-%f
is your variable name for every item. -
dir
- lists every file and subdirectory in a directory. -
/l
- (parameter for dir) Uses lowercase. -
/b
- (parameter for dir) Uses bare format, only the file/directory names, no size, no headers. -
/a-d
- (parameter for dir) Do not list directories. (a
stands forattribute
,-
stands fornot
andd
stands fordirectory
). -
rename "%f" "%f"
- rename the file with its own name, which is actually lowercased by thedir
command and/l
combination.
