Automatically put files with similair names in a folder together

[tmsrxzar]

i did this to move single movie files to a subfolder of the same name

movie.title.here.2008.mkv -> movie.title.here.2008/movie.title.here.2008.mkv

can be modded to do movie.title.here.2008.*

*edit: only for linux

bash:

Code:

for f in *.mkv; do
mkdir ${f//.mkv/}
echo mv "$f" ${f//.mkv/}/
done

python:

Code:

import os, re
for e in os.listdir('.'):
    if '.mkv' in e:
        dname = re.split('(\.\d{4})(.*)',e)
        dname = '%s%s' % (dname[0],dname[1])
        try:
            os.mkdir(dname)
        except: pass
        os.system('mv ./%s ./%s/' % (e, dname))
