right now I have this:

Answer 1

Here's a simple way to work with subprocess Popen

import subprocess
import os

class FolderCommands:
    src = None
    dst = None

    def __init__(self, src, dst):
        self.src = src
        self.dst = dst

    def move(self):
        listOfFiles = os.listdir(self.src)
        print(listOfFiles)
        modify_src = self.src.replace(" ", "\ ")
        dst = self.dst.replace(" ", "\ ")
        for f in listOfFiles:
            #Attaching the filename at the end of the src path

            fullPath = modify_src + "/'" + f +"'"
            subprocess.Popen("mv" + " " + fullPath + " " + dst, shell=True)

obj = FolderCommands(input("Enter Source path"), input("Enter Destination path"))
obj.move()
