Suppose I have the following directory structure:
photos
|-AAA_100.jpg
|-AAA_101.jpg
|-AAA_102.jpg
|-XXXXX_100.jpg
|-XXXXX_101.jpg
|-XXXXX_100.jpg
|-ZZ_100.jpg
|-ZZ_101.jpg
is it possible to issue some commands that will automatically create 3 subdirectories, AAA, XXXXX, ZZ and subsequently move all the files into these folders?
Perhaps something like:
for i in *_*; do mkdir `echo $i | sed s/_*.//`; done
for i in *_*; do mv $i `echo $i | sed s/_*.//`; done
Untested, and probably not the most efficient, but might give you some ideas.
