Hello I need to create folder based on a filename and in this folder create another one and then move file to this second folder
example:
my_file.jpg
create folder my_file
create folder picture
move my_file.jpg to picture
I have this script but it only works on windows and now I'm using Linux
for %%A in (*.jpg) do mkdir "%%~nA/picture" & move "%%A" "%%~nA/picture"
pause
Sorry if I'm not precise but English is not my native language.
#!/usr/bin/env bash
# Enable bash built-in extglob to ease file matching.
shopt -s extglob
# To deal with the case where nothing matches. (courtesy of mklement0)
shopt -s nullglob
# A pattern to match files with specific file extensions.
# Example for matching additional file types.
#match="*+(jpg|.png|.gif)"
match="*+(.jpg)"
# By default use the current working directory.
src="${1:-.}"
dest="${2:-/root/Desktop/My_pictures/}"
# Pass an argument to this script to name the subdirectory
# something other than picture.
subdirectory="${3:-picture}"
# For each file matched
for file in "${src}"/$match
do
# make a directory with the same name without file extension
# and a subdirectory.
targetdir="${dest}/$(basename "${file%.*}")/${subdirectory}"
# Remove echo command after the script outputs fit your use case.
echo mkdir -p "${targetdir}"
# Move the file to the subdirectory.
echo mv "$file" "${targetdir}"
done
extglob in this case is to use for file in *.jpg *.png *.gif (although you need to deal with the case where nothing matches, e.g. with shopt -s nullglob). Better not to use all-caps variable names to avoid conflicts with environment variables - see stackoverflow.com/a/673940/45375
Use basename to create the directory name, mkdir to create the folder, and mv the file:
for file in *.jpg; do
folder=$(basename "$file" ".jpg")"/picture"
mkdir -p "$folder" && mv "$file" "$folder"
done
basename "$file" ".jpg" (path first, then suffix)?
someFile.jpg -> someFile? The syntax is basename NAME SUFFIX (at least on Linux and OSX). Try basename "someFile.jpg" ".jpg" vs. basename ".jpg" "someFile.jpg":))Try the following:
for f in *.jpg; do
mkdir -p "${f%.jpg}/picture"
mv "$f" "${f%.jpg}/picture"
done
${f%.jpg} extracts the part of the filename before the .jpg to create the directory. Then the file is moved there.
"quotes" around those $fs
