I have the following code, but the directories are named very strangely (possibly because of the sort feature I used).
HTML Code:
for file in *.txt
do
dir=`find *txt | cut -d ' ' -f 1 | sort -u`
mkdir -p "$dir"
mv "$file" "$dir"
done
Right now, the code creates directories with the following names:
dir/John Mark Jill/Paper_1.txt
dir/John Mark Jill/Paper_2.txt
dir/Mark Jill/Paper_1.txt
dir/Jill/Paper_1.txt
Can anyone help?

As another route, I know that I can create the directories first, by using
but then the issue of sorting the files arises.

I'm running webcamd as a sort of "security" program, but I need a script that will archive my webcam.jpg files.
So, take the following file:
/home/slag/www/webcam.jpg
Rename it--preferably with a time stamp.
Place it in say:
/home/slag/www/history/

So inside the folder i have files named in no particular way

UNAFS(8) System Manager's Manual UNAFS(8)NAME
unafs - script to warn users about their weak passwords
SYNOPSIS
unafs password-files cell-name
DESCRIPTION
This manual page documents briefly the unafs command, which is part of the john package. This manual page was written for the Debian
GNU/Linux distribution because the original program does not have a manual page. john, better known as John the Ripper, is a tool to find
weak passwords of users in a server.
The unafs tool gets password hashes out of the binary AFS database, and produces a file usable by John.
SEE ALSO john(8), mailer(8), unique(8), unshadow(8).
The programs are documented fully by John's documentation, which should be available in /usr/share/doc/john or other location, depending on
your system.
AUTHOR
This manual page was written by Jordi Mallach <jordi@debian.org>, for the Debian GNU/Linux system (but may be used by others).
John the Ripper and mailer were written by Solar Designer <solar@openwall.com>. The complete list of contributors can be found in the CRED-
ITS file in the documentation directory.
