Thread: Make folder names out of file names, move files

hello all,

i'm trying make script convert large library of movies folders. is, every video has info file, fanart pic, cover image, , video.

want make script that:

1. @ video's name, , make folder name, without extension

2. move videos, , support files, folder.

videos named [video name] ([year]).[ext] "avatar (2009).avi". support files jpg's, tbn's , nfo's

thanks!

you may have mess some, here's basic idea.

code:

for file in $(ls | grep avi)   
filename=$(echo $file | gawk '{ split($0,tmp,"."); print tmp[1] }')
mkdir tmp
mv $file $filename.jpg $filename.tbn $filename.nfo tmp
mv tmp $filename
done
