Script that Organizes Files into Directories

Level 2: Intermediate

Project Level 2: Intermediate

This project is designed for intermediate learners who know Python fundamentals and are practicing building complete programs.

Project Objective

Create a Python script that organizes files in a directory into folders based on file type. For example, all .txt files go into a "Text Files" folder, all .jpg and .png files go into an "Images" folder, and so on.

How the Project Works

Here are what the script should do step by step:

1. Use glob to Find Files:

   • Use the glob module to find all files in the target directory with specific patterns (like *.txt for text files).

2. Create Folders Based on File Type:

   • For each file type, create a corresponding folder (e.g., "Text Files", "Images").

3. Move Files to the Appropriate Folder:

   • Move the files into the appropriate folder based on their extension using shutil.move().
