Sort/move files into folders and rename existing files.
Hello everyone!
Im having a few problems with my file moving script.
Im trying to move files into folders based on the filenames and if a file already exists rename that file.
The files consists of three sets of different filenames. They will be moved/sorted into the folder structure below. The Source and Destination path will always be static.
Example filenames:
The code below kind of works but there must be a better way to loop through the files than to use two “While do”ť statements.
Another thing I'm having trouble with is if a file already exists, I would like to rename or append something to that existing file. I tried with --backup but all I get is illegal option, most likely due to me testing this on MacOS.
My intension is to run this on my Synology server as an automated task every evening.
When i try to execute the script on the server it complains about the Source path, maybe not correctly formatted? find: `"/volume1/Archive/IMAGES/UPLOAD/TIFF/"': No such file or directory

Hmmm - I don't see /volume1/Archive/IMAGES/UPLOAD/DNG/ referenced anywhere in your script - that error msg can't come from that script. Does the DNG directory exist in the path?

Sorry, that was a typo. I used the DNG directory befor, but now only the TIFF and JPEG, still get the same error and they do exist.

so this would find all files with .jpg and .tif but only from one path. How can i search both SRC1 and SRC2. (find \"$SRC1\" -type f -iname '*.tif' -o -iname '*.jpg' -print0)
Drop the escaped double quotes in find's "starting point". find does allow multiple "starting points", BTW.
Great, thanks! now i don't get any errors, but also the script is not working. Nothing is happening, no error codes.
Obviously i must be missing something.
Again: too many escapes. Drop one of the two back slashes in the read delimiter's -d definition. Same for ALL the escaped double quotes around file and directory names downstream.
Sure your sophisticated regex to analyse $n works reliably? I'd prefer to determine the number length upfront, and then dissect $n.
You might want to provide a default valuein case $DST is undefined, to avoid creating directories in root.
Hey guys,
