I needed to make a bunch of folders for a slew of singles I’d downloaded. I wanted each single to have its own folder but when you download singles they tend to offer just the flac file and no containing folder. Reasonable, I suppose.
Anyway, I wrote this to create the folders.
## for f in ./* ; do ff=$( printf '%s\n' "${f//.\//}" ) ; mkdir "${ff//.flac/}" ; done ##
Good enough. I could have added something to move each file (“${f}”) into the newly created folder (./”${ff}”) but didn’t think of that until I was done. Probably an addition like this (untested):
## for f in ./* ; do ff=$( printf '%s\n' "${f//.\//}" ) ; mkdir "${ff//.flac/}" ; mv "${f}" "./${ff}/${f}" ; done ##
Enjoy! Maybe I’ll get around to testing the move version at some point.
