I want to sort about 2500 images every day into folders with a timestamp. So far I have this script but it's not working....

for x in *.jpg; do
d=$(date -r "$x" +%Y-%m-%d)
mkdir -p "$d"
mv -- "$x" "$d/"
done

The error is:

/home/pi/BRAVO/sort.sh: line 1: syntax error near unexpected token `$'do\r''
'home/pi/BRAVO/sort.sh: line 1: `for x in *.jpg; do

Any solution to this problem or a similar script?

tr -d '\r' < script > script_fixed – Cyrus Mar 14 '15 at 08:11
You have odd line endings (\r) from DOS, presumably... – jasonwryan Mar 14 '15 at 08:12
