I am running a fortran program which requires all input file names to be

Searching around I came across the "tr" command, but my difficulty comes
in trying to use this from the command line (or even in a bash script).
mv * | tr [a-z] [A-Z]
Does not work as mv requires a directory for the objective with multiple
files. All of the scripts that I have seen are mainly for changing the
case of text in a text file so wouldn't work for me.
So, how would I do this?
You could use a script like this one:
#!/bin/sh
for f in *
do
F="`echo $f | tr a-z A-Z`"
echo Renaming \"$f\" to \"$F\"
mv "$f" "$F"
done
That would rename all files in the current directory where you run it from.
