Scheduled file sorting with Ruby
1
I have a script running as an hourly cron job. It finds all screenshots on the Desktop and moves them to directories sorted by year/month/day.
On MacOS, screenshots are automatically saved to the desktop with the following filename structure:
"/Users/<USER>/Desktop/Screen Shot 2019-01-02 at 11.56.42 AM.png"
require 'fileutils'
class Screenshot
attr_reader :filepath
def initialize(filepath)
@filepath = filepath
end
def dir_exists?
File.exists?(destination) || FileUtils.mkdir_p(destination)
end
def date
@date ||= filepath.match(screenshot_regex)
end
def move
FileUtils.mv(filepath, destination) if dir_exists?
end
def base_path
"/Users/home/Pictures/Screenshots"
end
def destination
"#{base_path}/#{date[:year]}/#{date[:month]}/#{date[:day]}"
end
def screenshot_regex
/Shot (?<year>(.*))-(?<month>(.*))-(?<day>(.*)) at/
end
end
class Screenshots
attr_reader :directory
def initialize(directory)
@directory = directory
end
def filepaths
Dir.glob("#{directory}/Screen Shot*.png")
end
def files
filepaths.map{|i| Screenshot.new(i)}
end
def move_all
files.each(&:move)
end
end
Screenshots.new("/Users/home/Desktop").move_all
I'm sure there's a less messy approach here and I'd love to hear any criticism.
