I have around 120 files in a directory whose names are in uppercase

do i do that? I have .c and .h files in the directory.
Eg: TEST.C has to be converted to test.c

for X in *; do mv "$X" "`echo $X | sed 'y/ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz/'`"; done

This is ugly, but I can't think up a regexp that expands to the full set of characters.
