Hi, all! I need your help. I have about 3200 folders. Each folder has
2 or 8 files in there.
I am trying to move files in those folders into one folder.
the folder's names are as follows.
'2000.01.01', '2000.01.02', '2000.01.03'... ,'2008.12.31'.
I want to move the files in these folders into one file named
'2000-2008'.
After I have been repeating to open one folder, to cut files, and to
copy them into one folder for 15 minutes manually, I feel very stupid.
I think there must be some way in IDL, but I cannot figure out what to
do.
Can someone get me out of this stupidity? Please let me know an IDL-
istic solution for this problem.
Thanks.
Harry

The question's been answered, but IDL isn't the ideal (pun intended :o) tool here... IMO
at least. What about:
#!/bin/sh
old_dirs=`ls -d 20??.*`
new_dir="2000-2008"
test -d ${new_dir} || mkdir ${new_dir}
for dir in ${old_dirs}; do
mv ${dir}/* ${new_dir}
done
in regular old shell??
Disregard if you're a windows user of course....
cheers,
paulv

On second thought, when you have only one year, you can omit the
stregex. This was only necessary to extract the years 2000 till 2008
from all 200? years (i.e. omitting 2009)
Pro Movefile_051110
source=file_search('D:\MODIS11\Data\MYD11A1.005\2007.??.??\' ,'*.*')
path='D:\MODIS11\Data\\MYD11A1.005\2007\'
file_mkdir,path
file_move,source,path+file_basename(source)
end
