Re: how to make an alphabetical counter

My objectif is to order some file (my mp3), into some directories, the
criteria is the first letter of the file, wich mean the first letter of the
artist name.

I make that script, nothing echo nothing moved, I surely forget something.

# 1-> a ... 26->z

# from 97 lower case -> 122

# from 65 upper case -> 90

declare -i number=97

while [ $number -le 122 ]

do

#echo "find -type d -name \"\$'\\$(printf %o "$[$number]")'*\" -exec mv -f
{} ./\$'\\$(printf %o "$[$number]")' \; "

#eval "find -type f -name \"^\$'\\$(printf %o "$[$number]")'*\" -exec echo
{} \; "

eval "find -type f -name \"^\$'\\$(printf %o "$[$number]")'*\" -exec mv -f
{} ./\$'\\$(printf %o "$[$number]")' \; "

number=$number+1

done



thanks.
