Title
Body
I have a small but interesting task here. I have a list of files with same extension, for ex. a.abc b.abc c.abc What I want here is to first create folders called a , b , c ... for each .abc file, and then move each one into its folder. I was able to get the first step done pretty straightforwardly using a cmd line find ... | sed ... | xargs mkdir... , but when I tried to use a similar cmd to move each file into its own folder, I couldn't find the answer. I'm not fluent with the cmd here, and I have a very fuzzy memory that in find cmd I can use some kind of back reference to reuse the file/directory name, did I remember it wrong? Searched it up but couldn't find a good reference. Can anyone help me to complete the cmd here? Thanks.
