This is a simple Python script that organizes files within a specified folder based on their file extensions. It moves files into respective subdirectories corresponding to their extensions.
- User-friendly interface: Simply input the directory path of the folder you want to organize.
- Automatic organization: Files are sorted into subdirectories based on their extensions.
- Error handling: Provides feedback in case of invalid directory paths or other errors.
- Clone or download the script to your local machine.
- Ensure you have Python installed on your system.
- Open a terminal or command prompt.
- Navigate to the directory where the script is located.
- Run the script by executing the following command:
python file_organizer.py
- Follow the prompts to enter the directory path of the folder you want to organize.
- The script will organize the files within the folder automatically.
Suppose you have a folder named "Downloads" containing various files with different extensions. After running the script, the files will be organized into subdirectories based on their extensions within the "Downloads" folder.
For example:
- Files with the ".txt" extension will be moved to a "txt" subdirectory.
- Files with the ".jpg" extension will be moved to a "jpg" subdirectory.
- And so on.
- Make sure to enter the correct directory path when prompted.
- The script does not modify the original files; it only moves them to organized subdirectories.
