I have some directories of files copied from my security camera that I would like to organize into sub-directories by file date. So for example;

-rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 4935241 Jul 19 2012 DSCN1406.JPG -rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 4232069 Jul 19 2012 DSCN1407.JPG -rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 5015956 Jul 20 2012 DSCN1408.JPG -rwxrwxrwx 0 root root 5254877 Jul 21 2012 DSCN1409.JPG

I would like a script that runs to see the files in that directory, then create the 3 needed directories named like;

drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 2 16:49 07-19-2012 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 2 16:49 07-1920-2012 drwxrwxrwx 1 root root 0 Sep 2 16:49 07-1921-2012

And then move the files into the appropriate directories. Does anyone have any suggestions on a good scriptable way to accomplish this?

Create sub-directories and organize files by date

I have some directories of files copied from my security camera that I would like to organize into sub-directories by file date. So for example;
