How can I mass rename files from the command line or using a 3rd party tool?

I get lots of files from a variety of sources whose names I need to clean up for safe consumption on the web. Specifically, I want to change all the letters to lowercase and replace all spaces with dashes.

In other words, I want to convert

This is a file that NEEDS conversion.txt

to

this-is-a-file-that-needs-conversion.txt

And I'd like to do it in the most painless way possible. A tool that I can add to my right-click context menu would be ideal. I would prefer a Windows solution, but I have Ubuntu available to me.

  • Do you need to do this for a large group of files (batch process) or is this just something you do regularly or frequently to a small number of files? If the former, this is a duplicate of the various bath file renaming questions, if the latter, I am not personally aware of similar questions. – music2myear Jul 13 '11 at 19:22
  • It does indeed look like a duplicate. My search-fu apparently failed me. – ale Jul 13 '11 at 19:31
