Hello,

I am not sure if this is on or off-topic... but I didn't know where to turn...

I am looking for a way to create a directory hierarchy to alphabetize a bunch of games 9similar to the hierarchies on FTP servers:


One directory called '0-9' and 26 more directories - one for each letter in the alphabet - 27 directories in all.

I once found a way to automate it with a Bash script consisting of less than 10 lines. Something to do with a loop with a range of letters for the aphabet directories...


i am also trying to teach myself Bash scripting (as for now - I know very little) - so, if any of you sends me the script - I'll study it, as well as use it...

Thanks!

Or just use some bash-fu:

mkdir {0..9} {a..z}

Oh, and I just notice that the "0-9" should be a single dir, thus:

mkdir 0-9 {a..z}

Thank you very much!

I knew it must be stupidly simple.... ;-)

Thanks again!
