FCTR: Enumerated Folder Creator

v 0.3 adds -m mode!

v 0.2.2 adds ranges!

This simple C script is for creating/deleting multiple folders of the same name that are enumerated from 1 to n in the same directory.

NEW: -m mode for automatically putting files in folders of the same name!

For example, this script could create a list of folders as such:

folder_01, folder_02, folder_n

using the command:

fctr -c n folder

or, delete a list of folders as such:

folder_01, folder_02, folder_n

using the command:

fctr -d n folder

or, create folders of matching name to files and store said files in these new folders:

file_1.c -> file_1 (folder)

using the command (in current directory):

fctr -m

<<warning: this moves every file it can in current directory (see notes)>>

Installation

git clone https://github.com/svveden/fctr
bash ./fctr/install.sh

Usage

flags: 
-c    Create folders.
-d    Delete folders.
-m    Matching mode.
-?    See flag list.

command: fctr -flag number_of_folders name_of_folders
# folders are created with name_of_folder + _number, so no need to add '_' after the name

Folder ranges can now be added as a 4th argument as such:

fctr -c number_of_folders name_of_folders range 
# i.e. create n folders from range to n

So, for example, running:

fctr -c 10 folder 5

Will create the following:

folder_05, folder_06, folder_07, folder_08, folder_09, folder_10

The same can be done for deleting as well, but you must start the range at a folder number that exists. Also, deleting will stop at the first folder it can't find, no skipping folders (yet)!

Notes

!!Folder names cannot exceed 250 chars, as Linux/OSX only allow folder names up to 255 chars!! !!-m mode will not move executables as they have no extension, any other files with the same name as the executable will also not be moved!!

This program/script is entirely written in C and mainly exists for me to get to know git and repo cloning!
