I have 1000 files in a single folder and I need to split them into counts of 100 files each. After this, I need to automatically move the 100 files to a new folder which is automatically created.

I use this command for manually moving the files.

for file in $(ls -p | grep -v / | tail -100); do mv "$file" NEWFOLDER; done

But, this will be hard enough if I had around 10000 files in a single folder.

#!/bin/bash c=1; d=1; mkdir -p NEWDIR_${d} for jpg_file in *.jpg do if [ $c -eq 100 ] then d=$(( d + 1 )); c=0; mkdir -p NEWDIR_${d} fi mv "$jpg_file" NEWDIR_${d}/ c=$(( c + 1 )) done

try this code

it works great, I've tested it
