Hello all,

I would appreciate any help to write a script. I have folder A which contains over 30 thousands xml files, I would like create multiple folders and move those files (500 in each folders).

Thank you

Here is a bash script:

#!/bin/bash

c=1; d=1; mkdir -p dir_${d}

for xml_file in *.xml
do
        if [ $c -eq 501 ]
        then
                d=$(( d + 1 )); c=0; mkdir -p dir_${d}
        fi
        echo mv "$xml_file" dir_${d}/
        c=$(( c + 1 ))
done
