Re: [PLUG] bash script help needed

everything lower case.
There's a project on sourceforge that already does what you stated needing to do (mv_lowercase and mv_spaces2underscore) but if you're doing it for a learning exercise you should be able to get some pointers since it is just a collection of bash scripts.

http://filerenameutils.sourceforge.net/

DESCRIPTION FROM SOURCEFORGE

File rename utils are robust bash hacks that enable various file renaming actions. These include upper, lowercase, and capitalized conversions, space removal,and a KDE-compatible trash can. Man page documentation is provided
