Split directory contents by file count
I have a folder with 20000 files in it. I need to split it into subfolders with increasing directory name (dir_1, dir_2....) with each folder having 500 files each in such a way that for example if files are from file_1.png to file_20000, the first folder should contain first 500 files i.e., file_1 to file 500 and immediate folder should contain files in a continued manner i.e, file_501 to file_1000 and so on. I have tried many scripts on internet but none helped me. Can anyone please help me in making this possible..
