How do I copy files inside a directory using python.All my AB.jpg should be copied to one folder and BC.jpg files to one more folder of by sub scripting the file with it's date from the file path). My path's created are dynamic based on the timestamps.

My local directory paths are in the below format:

directory : /tmp/hash/inputsrc/20201229/....../AB.jpg
            /tmp/hash/inputsrc/20201228/....../BC.jpg
            /tmp/hash/inputsrc/20201229/....../AB.jpg
            /tmp/hash/inputsrc/20201228/....../BC.jpg
Expected output:
           /newfolder/AB_20201229.jpg
           /newfolder/AB_20201228.jpg
           /newfolder/BC_20201229.jpg
           /newfolder/BC_20201228.jpg

Do you want to copy (as stated in the question) or move (as stated in the title)? – William Pursell Dec 29 '20 at 05:42

Look at `shutils`. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/2793789/create-destination-path-for-shutil-copy-files – MaNKuR Dec 29 '20 at 05:42
I want to organise / move files @WilliamPursell – hashalluring Dec 29 '20 at 05:46
Also how do I add timestamp from the path that's show in my input to the filename as I can distinguish them only on timestamps @MaNKuR – hashalluring Dec 29 '20 at 06:22
