files batch remane

sysadmin Today I had the need to uppercase the name of all files in a directory, and I came across rename, a really nice tool the quickly perform this task.

From the man page:

NAME
    rename - renames multiple files

SYNOPSIS
    rename [ -v ] [ -n ] [ -f ] perlexpr [ files ]

DESCRIPTION
    "rename" renames the filenames supplied according to the
    rule specified as the first argument.  The perlexpr argument
    is a Perl expression which is expected to modify the $_ string
    in Perl for at least some of the filenames specified.
    If a given filename is not modified by the expression, it will
    not be renamed. If no filenames are given on the command line,
    filenames will be read via standard input.
