Batch file to move video files and retain sub-directories
I have just purchased my first ever Apple computer - and am therefore new to UNIX also.
I would like to create a simple "batch file" (apologies if this is the wrong terminology) to do the following:
When I plug my camera into the MAC it automatically downloads photos and videos into a new sub-directory inside the "Pictures" folder, the new folder name is the date on which the photos were taken.
eg,
Pictures\2011-04-28
The problem is it puts both photos (jpg) and videos (avi) into this folder. I want to separate the photos from the videos.
I need a script which will move the videos to a new folder inside "Movies" but retains the date based sub-directory name.
eg,
Movies\2011-04-28
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks in advance.

gomoku
GOMOKU(6) BSD Games Manual GOMOKU(6)
NAME
gomoku -- game of 5 in a row
SYNOPSIS
gomoku [-bcdu] [-D debugfile] [savefile]
DESCRIPTION
gomoku is a two player game where the object is to get 5 in a row horizontally, vertically or diagonally on a 19 by 19 grid. By convention,
black always moves first.
The options are:
-b Run in batch mode. (See below.)
-c Computer versus computer. gomoku will play a game against itself. This is mostly used for testing.
-d Print debugging information. Repeating this option more than once yields more detailed information.
-D debugfile
Print the debug information to debugfile instead of to the standard output.
-u User versus user. (Play against yourself.) This is mostly used for testing.
savefile
Load a previously saved game from savefile.
With no arguments, gomoku starts a fresh user vs. computer game.
Moves may be entered by selecting the desired board location and pressing the space or enter key. The cursor may be moved using the arrow
keys or vi(1) motion keys hjklyubn. These also may be familiar from rogue(6) and hack(6). To quit, type 'Q', and to save the game, type 'S'
and supply a file name when prompted.
Batch mode
Batch mode was intended for game tournaments where a referee program handles the board display and pits one program against another. In this
mode, gomoku reads moves from standard input and writes its responses to standard output. The first line of input should be either ``black''
or ``white'' to specify whether gomoku has the first move or not respectively.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
The board display routines were based on the goref program written by Peter Langston. The user interface was based on Eric S. Raymond's
interface for bs.
