Moving files by starting letter in powershell, python or other scripting language running windows -


i need script can recursively traverse c:\somedir\ , move files c:\someotherdir\x\ - x starting letter of file.

can help?


ended one:

import os shutil import copy2 import uuid import random  source = ".\\pictures\\" dest = ".\\pictures_ordered\\"  path, dirs, files in os.walk(source):     f in files:         print(f)         starting_letter = f[0].upper()         source_path = os.path.join(path, f)         dest_path = os.path.join(dest, starting_letter)          if not os.path.isdir(dest_path):             os.makedirs(dest_path)          dest_fullfile = os.path.join(dest_path, f)          if os.path.exists(dest_fullfile):                         periodindex = source_path.rfind(".")             renamed_soruce_path = source_path[:periodindex] + "_" + str(random.randint(100000, 999999))  + source_path[periodindex:]             os.rename(source_path, renamed_soruce_path)             copy2(renamed_soruce_path, dest_path)                         os.remove(renamed_soruce_path)         else:             copy2(source_path, dest_path)             os.remove(source_path)` 

here's simple script want. doesn't tell it's doing, , overwrite old file if there 2 files same name.

import os shutil import copy2  source = "c:\\source\\"  dest = "c:\\dest\\"  # iterate recursively through files , folders under source directory path, dirs, files in os.walk(source):     # each directory iterate on files     f in files:         # grab first letter of filename         starting_letter = f[0].upper()         # construct full path of current source file         source_path = os.path.join(path, f)         # construct destination path using first letter of         # filename folder         dest_path = os.path.join(dest, starting_letter)         # create destination folder if doesn't exist         if not os.path.isdir(dest_path):             os.makedirs(dest_path)         # copy file destination path + starting_letter         copy2(source_path, dest_path)
