Script to move files with similar names to folder
I have in directory /media/AUDIO/WAVE many .mp3 files with names like:
my filename_01of02.mp3
my filename_02of02.mp3
Your File_01of06.mp3
Your File_02of06.mp3
etc....

In the same directory, /media/AUDIO/WAVE, I have many folders with names like
9780743579490
9780743579491
etc..

Inside the folders I have files:
(Inside folder 9780743579490 is)
9780743579490_01of6_Your File.wav
9780743579490_02of6_Your File.wav

What I need, is a script to find what folder the .wav files that have the same filename at the .mp3 files in /media/AUDIO/WAVE, and move the mp3 files into the folders with the wav files that share the same file name.

To be clear the mp3 part "01of06" is in a different place than the .wav file and the wav file has a 13 digit number in the beginning that the mp3 doesnt, so you will have to match what happens before the first underscore on the mp3 file with what happens between the last underscore and the file extension in the .wav file!
