-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 Hello,
: I use this one-liner for moving photos nested a single folder deep : into the top-level folder: : : find * -name "*.jpg" | awk -F/ '{print "mv "$0,$1"-"$2}' | sh I would add a few different features to this 'find' to make it a bit more resistant to failure, although this sort of solution is always subject to the "somebody else is toying with my filesystem race condition". find "$srcdir" -depth -type f -print0 \ | xargs --null --no-run-if-empty -- \ mv --target-directory "$dstdir" -- The --target-directory option is only available in GNU mv (and cp), I believe. I'll second the recommendation for 'shutil', although you can have some fun playing with recursion by building your tree flattener using os.walk(), os.path.split() and os.path.join(). - -Martin - -- Martin A.
