README

        
A minute tool to move files into a directory hierarchy using the date/time

in the filenames.

# Usage

    move-year --create -ymd -i ~/Downloads/bank-statement-2022-01-01.pdf ~/Documents/finance/my-bank/

    move-year --create -dmy -i ~/Downloads/tax-report-31112021.pdf ~/Documents/finance/taxes/

The files will be moved to the directories `~/Documents/finance/my-bank/2022`

and `~/Documents/finance/taxes/2021` respectively. Directories will be created.

Move files into subdirectories according to year/month

    move-year --create -s ym --part-separator "/" -ym -i foo-2022-03.pdf ~/Documents/foo

    # Moves the file into ~/Documents/foo/2022/03

# Options

  * dry-run|n - only print, don't change anything

  * verbose - output verbose messages

  * date-regex|d - (Perl) regular expression to recognize the date parts

  * date-regex-order|o - order of the components if you don't use named captures

  * date-type - the date type to look for (dmy, ymd, ym, my, y)

  * ymd - shorthand for --date-type=ymd

  * dmy - shorthand for --date-type=dmy

  * ym - shorthand for --date-type=ym

  * my - shorthand for --date-type=my

  * y - shorthand for --date-type=y

  * force|f - overwrite files if they exist

  * create - create intermediate directories

  * directory-style|s - style of the directory (default: y)

  * part-separator - separator of the directory parts, use "/" for subdirectories

  * i - don't overwrite (the default)

  * strict - stop if a file does not have a timestamp in its name
