GIF File extension case

Hello,

Is there a way to change the extension of a batch of .GIF files from x.gif (small letters) to x.GIF (capital letters) using coldfusion codes.

The reason I need to perform this operation is that am accessing these files on Linux and since Linux is Case-Sensitive, I need to keep only one type of file extension (either small letters of capital).

Note that right now, i have several folders consisting of gif files, some are which are saved as.gif while others as .GIF.

Any help on this issue will be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hello All,

I managed to do this using a software called "RenameIt"

But I will try the CF solution as well.

Thx

Look up the usage of ucase( ) and lcase( ). These will either convert a string to lowercase or uppercase.

Use cfdirectory to loop over the file and use cffile to rename the file to whatever case you want

Basic example:

sure, there's a number of options available.

There's a piece of software called Ant Renamed available here or it would be pretty trivial to write a CF template (since we're on CF support forums) that performs a CFDIRECTORY listing the files and then looping over them and renaming them.
