Where's Ricardo when you need him? :-)

How about a little shell + Perl?

(warning: untested code)

#!/bin/bash

for i in $(ls /devices/*): do

    /usr/bin/perl -i.BAK -p -e 's/#include <(..*)>/#include <uc($1)>/' $i

done

exit


The idea is this:

loop through each file in the /devices/ directory placing the name in
variable i. Execute a perl "edit in place" command on each file $i.
Search for "#include <regular expression>" and replace it with "#include
<upper case of the previously found regular expression>".  Make a backup
copy of the file using the .BAK extension as well.


You'll prolly have to play with the perl search term (the part after s/)
to get it just right.
