I need some help with this shell script for class. All it does is organize your files. It works, but in the log file, it needs to show the new filepaths of the moved files. Heres my log of my output:
Starting to organize...
movie2.wmv -->
movie3.mov -->
movie1.mpg -->
song1.mp3 -->
song2.mp3 -->
file1.txt -->
final.txt -->
grades.txt -->
secretfile.txt -->
Where the arrows are, I need to print the filepath of the new files. So it would look something like this:
movie2.wmv--> movies/movie2.wmv
Thank You for any help!
