I have the following files in mixed folder:
abc.mp3,xyz.mp3 logo.png ,fun.exe

After running the script it will sort the files in alphaetically order with prefix number.

music folder will have:
1-abc.mp3
2-xyz.mp3

picture folder will have:
1-logo.png

But when i run the script,it prompt me error
The error is:
mv: specified target, `gameassets/music' is not a directory

Below is the script:
#!/bin/bash
echo "Moving your file to correct folder."

for (( index=0; index < ${#types[@]}; index++ )); do
echo mv *.${types[$index]} ${types[$index]};
done

mv *.mp3 --target-directory=gameassets/music
mv *.png --target-directory=gameassets/picture
mv *.exe --target-directory=gameassets/exe_files

end of script

If anyone know my mistake,please highlight it to me.
Thanks

Have you tried putting the full pathname in for the target directory? i.e. if "gameassets/music" is actually located in /home/foo/gameassets/music, try changing the line

"mv *.mp3 --target-directory=gameassets/music"

to

"mv *.mp3 --target-directory=/home/foo/gameassets/music"

On the other hand, if you are creating these directories for each game or whatever you are downloading seperately, the script needs to create the "gameassets" directory and the "music", "picture", and "exe_files" directory seperately before moving the data into those directories. As such, you would need the following commands before the mv statements:

mkdir gameassets
mkdir gameassets/music
mkdir gameassets/picture
mkdir gameassets/exe_files

This is because a mv statement cannot do deep creation of directories.

You are not using absolute paths, so it will not work unless all the files are in the parent directory of gameassets/music, etc.

e.g. suppose that the absolute path is /home/username/gameassets/picture

To use you script, you would need a minimum of 3 things:
-- All the files would have to be in /home/username
-- The target directories must already exist
-- The script would have to be run in /home/username

Thanks,now that i have successfully move the files to correct folder
But the naming is wrong

after moving the mp3 files to music folder,it look like this:
1-abc.mp3
1-xyz.mp3

but i want it to be like this:
1-abc.mp3
2-xyz.mp3

I use variable filecount to count the total number of mp3 it have so that it in music folder,it will display 1-abc.mp3 , 2-xyz.mp3

Below are the script:

#!/bin/bash

for filename in *.mp3
do
filecount="$( find . -name '*.mp3' | wc -l)"

for ((i=1; i<=$filecount; i++))
do
echo -n "$i-.."

echo "Moving your $filename to music folder."
mv $filename /root/gameassets/music/$i-$filename
done
done

The error it display when i run this script:
1-..Moving your abc.mp3 to music folder.
2-..Moving your abc.mp3 to music folder.
mv: cannot stat `abc.mp3': No such file or directory
1-..Moving your xyz.mp3 to music folder.


May I know how come the Moving your abc.mp3 is repeat twice?

Please point out my mistakes.
Thanks
