Move Files

What it does

Moves files from a source directory to a destination directory based on their file extensions (suffixes).

Python usage

from csvsmith.tools.move_files import move_by_suffix

# Move all CSV and PDF files
count = move_by_suffix(
    src_dir="raw_data",
    dst_dir="processed_data",
    suffixes=[".csv", ".pdf"]
)

print(f"Moved {count} files")

CLI usage

csvsmith move-files raw_data/ processed_data/ --suffixes csv,pdf

Behavior notes

• Suffix Matching: Case-insensitive and supports suffixes with or without a leading dot (e.g., csv or .csv).

• Default Suffixes: Defaults to .csv and .pdf if none are specified.
