I need to write a script that can check if the file exists ignore the case. How can I do that? Please help me out!! Thank you all.

Something like this ? If not, please be more specific. :D clear echo -n "Search file if exist for : " read chfile ls -lG $chfile ls -lG /home/$chfile Don´t freak out until you know the facts...Relax...!

Here is what I need to do. First, I want to find all the .cpp and .h files then check if the file is not directory, not already in lower case, and no other files has the same name. If it passes those tests then rename the file into lower case. Here is my script #!/bin/csh foreach file (*.cpp *.h) if (-d "$file") then echo 'Error: This is a directory that cannot be renamed.' else if(#don't know what to do) then echo 'Error: The file name is already in lower case.' else if(#don't know what to do) then echo 'Error: The file already exists.' else echo "$file" | sed 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/' >> newname mv $file $newname echo "The file $file has been renamed to $newname" endif end

Never mind ~I get this fixed Thank you for the help.
