Need an "intelligent" file renamer...

[Brian911]

Hi all.

I accidently hit a wrong button in my sleeplessness (lol) and removed ALL underscores from my files in one of my /pics/ dirs which is one of the biggest with over 200 sadly :(

the files looked like "Teen_Strip_A.jpg" before, so after an underscore there was always a capital letter.
any renamer that can "find" that out and set an underscore before all capital letters?

I tried ckRename but its not possible with it I think.
and NO, of course that site isnt yet uploaded..

any program/script/whatever that can do it?

thx in advance
Brian

cd pics
for old in *.jpg
do
new=`echo $old | sed -e 's/\([a-z0-9]\)\([A-Z]\)/\1_\2/g'`
mv $old $new
done

converts TeenArgBlah.jpg to Teen_Arg_Blah.jpg

I tried to forget about that problem actually but still found it again ;)

thanks everybody, I fixed it with both of the programs :D
