Version: 1 | Requires: ColdFusion MX | Library: FileSysLib

Description:
This UDF is a quick way to make all the files in a particular directory (or directory tree, optionally) lower case. It was originally built for a project that needed to move from Windows to *nix and needed to make all custom tags lower cased. You can also put in a list of files to exclude.

Return Values:
Returns nothing.

Example:

<cfscript>
//fileNamesLowerCase(expandPath("./"),TRUE,"Application.cfm,OnRequestEnd.cfm");
</cfscript>

Parameters:

Name Description Required
directory Directory to begin renaming files in. Yes
recurseDirectory If true, UDF will recurse into subdirectories. Defaults to false. No
excludeList List of files to ignore. Defaults to nothing. No
