File Move Based on 1st Character of File Name
I need some help with a unix script to mv image files to subdirectories based on the 1st character of the filename. See example below...
/images/main
1191.jpg
9999.jpg
A101.jpg
A102.jpg
B201.jpg
c333.jpg
...
Z999.jpg
I would like to move to the following:
/images/main/1/1191.jpg
/images/main/9/9999.jpg
/images/main/a/A101.jpg
/images/main/a/A102.jpg
/images/main/b/B201.jpg
/images/main/c/c333.jpg
...
/images/main/z/Z999.jpg
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
