putInDir

putInDir is a bash script to move a file in a directory which has its name or, putInDirDate (see below), its date.

These two should be brought together ultimately (with options).

Versions

• 25, April (2012): v°0.1

Usage

Call the script with the file to move as argument:

putInDir filename.dat

It will create a directory "filename" and move "filename.dat" in it.

To process all files of a given extension, use:

for f in *.zip; do putInDir "$f" ; done

1. Separating filename from extension

filename=$(basename $1) extension=${filename##*.} filename=${filename%.*}

1. Create directory and translate the file

mkdir $filename mv $1 $filename

putInDirDate

Usage

Copy the file in the directory where files to be sorted are present (check extension in the script) and run. Be careful, it could be dangerous (no undo!)
