Script for moving all *.512.png to a new folder

Can you make a script(bash) for moving all the files with the ending *.512.png to a new folder like res512(will be new branch) (keeping all the subfolders)
for this repo I tried really long but I can't figure it out.

Keep in mind, mv doesn't create a new directory, so I assume something like mkdir would be one of the commands in your scripts. Am I getting this right?

You're not very specific with what you're asking.

If you want to move all files that have the suffix .512.png from within your current directory to a new directory, you can use the following

mkdir res512
cp -r *.512.png res512/

If you want to move all files that have the suffix .512.png from within your directory and all child directories into a new directory, you can use

mkdir res512
for f in $(find -type f -name "*.512.png")
do 
 cp $f res512/
done

If you want to move all files that have the suffix .512.png including their directory structure into a new directory, you can use

find . -name '*.512.png' -exec cp --parents res512/ ;

Replace cp with mv if you want to move the files instead of copy them.

@MaximilianGaedig if it works, consider accepting the answer :) And as far as the sub directories, you'll need to be a little more lear with what you want.

The filetree with the folders should be imported

You said you wanted to move the files that have *.512.png as a suffix, i'm not sure how you want the file structure to factor into this.
