I have a lots of images with timestamp:
cloudcam-20130825T115716Z.jpg
In the same folder I would like to create a folder named after the date(20130825) and move all the images to this folder.
Is there an easy way to do this?
Tell me if this works (untested ;) ):
for f in `ls cloudcam-????????.jpg`; do
name=`echo "$f"|sed 's/ -.*//'`
datedir=`echo "$name"|cut -c 10-17`
dir="DestinationDirectory/$datedir/$name"
mkdir -p "$datedir"
mv "$f" "$datedir"
done
.. it should copy all jpg's beginning with cloudcam-, create a directory for position 10 to 17 of the file name, create the directory and move the file. So if you have images with another date it will put those in another directory.
Save it and make the script executable with chmod 775.
Try it first on a copy of your files.
