How to move files from a directory to another?

Question

This is my Python script:

import json
import csv
import glob
import os
import shlex
import subprocess

os.chdir('C:/ck-master/target')
path='C:/Users/AQ42770/Desktop/congress-android'
for n in range(0,100):

    path1= path+"/"+str(n)

    cmd='java -jar ck-0.3.2-SNAPSHOT-jar-with-dependencies.jar "%s"'
    cmd = cmd % (path)
    args = shlex.split(cmd)
    p = subprocess.Popen(args)

It returns for me 4 CSV files in directory C:\ck-master\target.

The problem is that each time it crushes the 4 CSV files and returns the last result. My expectation is that for each iteration it should move files to another folder and it should name them from 0 to 99.

argh this code would need a big refactoring, sorry to say. Don't use string + shlex, pass a list directly. Plus don't `chdir` use `cwd` in subprocess call, plus `os.path.join` instead of adding path strings. — Jean-François Fabre, Jun 23 '19 at 19:25
@Jean-François Fabre why I should not use string + shlex and what do u mean by pass a list directly ? — Oumayma Hamdi, Jun 23 '19 at 19:45

I will answer briefly, cause the question is duplicate.
Task is done with python or cmd directly.
1) Find files in the directory. For example using os.listdir() or glob.glob() methods
2) Copy them using shututil How do I copy a file in Python? or write copy urself. It's simple - jost open the file and write it to new destination with a new name. or move - How to move a file in Python
3) Success
