Console commands
Hi, im currently reading all the linux documentation i can get a hold of, however, i was put off track when a realatively simple excercise was proposed to me: having a directory full of files, "move all files beginning with an upper case letter to one folder and those with a lower case letter to another" I've read the man mv page and all solutions i think abut involve many commands, but supposedly this is possible with very few commands which i cannot think about.
help appreciated, thanks!!

Hi and Welcome !
I would suggest you to check linuxcommand.org.It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Have a think about writing a script which checks upper or lowercase with reg. expression. Which you can then modify for other use. That way you build up library of more complex utilities.
