SH script to move files from one dir to another depending on the filename
I am trying to write a sh script that will run when one of my downloads is completed.
It should look for a specific filename on ~/Downloads and move it to a different dir depending on the filename.
I.e. I have downloaded the last episode of Glee, the filename is:
glee_some_trash_files_always_have.mkv
It should be moved to
~/TVshows/Glee/
This is what I was able to do:
#!/bin/bash
if filename in ~/Downoads; then
result=
if filename = *glee*; then
result= mv $filename ~/TVshows/Glee/
else
if filename = *pokemon*; then
result= mv $filename ~/TVshows/pokemon/
endif
done
Is my approach correct? Please note I am very new to sh.
Thanks in advance.

Edit: Here is my script, I hope someone else could find it useful:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$HOME/Downloads"
# for filename in *; do
find . -type f | while IFS= read filename; do # Look for files in all ~/Download sub-dirs
case "${filename,,*}" in # this syntax emits the value in 开发者_StackOverflow社区lowercase: ${var,,*} (bash version 4)
*.part) : ;; # Excludes *.part files from being moved
move.sh) : ;;
# *test*) mv "$filename" "$HOME/TVshows/Glee/" ;; # Using move there is no need to {&& rm "$filename"}
*test*) scp "$filename" "imac@imac.local:/users/imac/Desktop/" && rm "$filename" ;;
*american*dad*) scp "$filename" "imac@imac.local:/users/imac/Movies/Series/American\ Dad/" && rm "$filename" ;;
*) echo "Don't know where to put $filename" ;;
esac
done
This is where the shell's case
statement comes in handy:
#!/bin/bash
cd "$HOME/Downloads"
for filename in *; do
# this syntax emits the value in lowercase: ${var,,*} (bash version 4)
case "${filename,,*}" in
glee*) mv "$filename" "$HOME/TVshows/Glee/" ;;
pokemon*) mv "$filename" "$HOME/TVshows/pokemon/" ;;
*) echo "don't know where to put $filename";;
esac
done
The mv
command can move multiple files at a time. The last argument is treated as a directory name. The trailing /
is important; if there's one matching file name, and the target directory doesn't exist (say, because you misspelled it), it will create it as a file.
mv ~/Downloads/*glee* ~/TVshows/Glee/
mv ~/Downloads/*pokemon* ~/TVshows/pokemon/
This is my script for serial sorting.
#!/bin/bash
PATH_FROM=/your/download/dir
PATH_TO=/path/serial/directory
cd $PATH_FROM
ls -1 *{mkv,avi,srt,mp4} | sed -e 's/\.[s|S][0-9].*$//g' | uniq | while read -r serial
do
folder=$(echo $serial | tr A-Z a-z) folder=${folder/the./}
folder=`echo ${folder//_/.}`
folder=`echo ${folder//./ }`
folder=( $folder )
folder=`echo "${folder[@]^}"`
ls -1 ${serial// /.}.* | sed -e 's/'$serial'\.[s|S]//g' | sed -e 's/\..*$//g' | uniq | while read -r s
do
season=s$(echo "$s" | sed -e 's/[e|E].*$//g' | sed -e 's/^0//g')
mkdir -p "$PATH_TO/$folder/$season"
mv -f $serial.?$s* "$PATH_TO/$folder/$season/"
log=`date +"[%d/%m/%Y %X]"`
echo $log" "$serial" success sync with "$PATH_TO"/"$folder"/"$season >> /path/to/logfiledir/log.txt
done
done
