Thunar custom action: Change file name to Title Case

paul1149 · 2018-02-26 18:18:33

Hi,

I have a custom action that changes the file name to lower case, and it works great:

for file in %N; do mv "$file" "$(echo "$file" | tr '[:upper:]' '[:lower:]')"; done

Is there something similar for Title, or Proper, Case? I tried the obvious substitutions, but they didn't work.

Thanks.

Try this:

for file in %N; do mv "$file" "$(echo "$file" | sed 's/.*/\L&/; s/[a-z]*/\u&/g')"; done
