BASH: Convert Uppercase to Lowercase letters


Vivek Gite on nixCraft suggests tr to tranform uppercase letters in the textfile input.txt to lowercase and output the transformed text to output.txt.

tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]' output.txt

I needed to clean up a messy old scriptfile where I lost track of my variable naming convention.

Very useful indeed 🙂
