I've run across a problem that a bash script might resolve. But my bash 
skills are 
rudimentary at best. I'd therefore like to ask for help with this project. 
I've 
downloaded a grouping of html files I want to have resident on my home 
computer. The 
files are linked together in series and link one to another from within each 
html file 
as well as from some centralized index pages. The problem is that this 
grouping of 
files was created by some (not too bright) M$ user who paid little or no 
attention to 
case sensitivity. Sometimes file names are in lower case, sometimes in upper 
case 
(mostly upper case). The problem, as should be clear, is that the links don't 
work on 
a Linux system if the case is not properly specified in the hyperlink. What I 
therefore need to do is convert the relevant file names, whether under their 
resident 
directory, or within the html files themselves, to either upper or lower 
case. It 
could be alot more complex to do this if the file names varied more than they 
do, but 
as things stand, there are only 5 words that need their case changed.

For demonstration purposes, let's say that the relevant words are index, htm, 
word1, 
word2, and word3. What would be the automated way to change all instances of 
index, 
htm, word1, word2, and word3 to INDEX, HTM, WORD1, WORD2, and WORD3? I 
suppose the 
routine for doing this would be different for renaming the files than it 
would be for 
changing the case of hyperlinks inside an html file. Any help on this would 
be much 
appreciated.

Thanks,
James
