Could anyone help me in writing a code which could replace file names
letters to lowercase and spaces to dashes? For example:
Ruby Forum to ruby-forum
Thanks.

hi Jonas Jonaitis
Filename='Ruby Forum'
File.rename(Filename, Filename.downcase!.gsub!(32.chr,'-'))
This would work.

path = "D:\\Images"
Dir.open(path).each do
File.rename(Filename, Filename.downcase!.gsub!(32.chr,'-'))
end
What I would also really want is to set a path to a folder with multiple
files and enter a code, so it would make the changes to all file names.
My code is missing something.

i don't understand exactly what are you asking here,
Do you want to change the name of all the files(downcase and - included)
under a particular folder?

It's sorted now, thanks.
path = "D:\\Images"
Dir.open(path).each do |p|
next if p.match(/^\./)
old = path + "\\" + p
new = path + "\\" + p.downcase.gsub(' ', '-')
File.rename(old, new)
puts old + " => " + new
end

You might find it more efficient to check that the file actually needs
renaming as well. With your current system you're carrying on
regardless.

This might not work because the bang versions return nil if no change was made.
