Create folder from a filename and move the file into the folder

[Vodkaholic]

Hello all am not very good at command's or even know it this is posable but am trying to do this "Create folder from a filename and move the file into the folder" i have 500000+ file's i need to do with is there a easy way?

I really don't want to download them all make/move them with filemonkey just to re-upload them

Many Thanks

You could run a short test like the following, and then look for a better way:

touch {one,two,three}.{sh,txt}

#!/usr/bin/env bash


for i in  "$@"
do
	mkdir ${i}_folder
	mv $i ${i}_folder
done 


exit 0

bash move_files.sh *sh

or:

bash move_files.sh *txt

Or both at once:

bash move_files.sh *txt *sh

You will need to add several tests:
Are arguments given
Make sure the script itself doesn't get moved.
Perhaps let the files get listed, and ask if it is ok to move them
Check for filenames which contain whitepsace.
Check for the exit code of `mkdir`
Perhaps more.

Hey thank's for that

as i know nothing someone made me a bash file which has this in it

#!/bin/bash
for FILE in `ls | egrep "gif|jpg|png|bmp|jpeg|tif|tiff"`
do
DIR=`echo $FILE | cut -d '.' -f 1`
mkdir $DIR
mv $FILE $DIR
done

It kind of work's tho it split's the filename in to muilty folder's

This was my test

Thank's!
