Is it possible to apply 'make' functions such as $(dir ...), $(suffix ...), $(basename ...), $(filter ...), etc., to the index of a bash for-loop, to enable operations such as:
directories := red green yellow (for d in $(directories:/=); do (for f in *; do cp $(nodir $$f) $$d; done;) done;) within the context of a makefile? What I am trying to do is sort files into several groups by moving them from a directory "pool": pool/red-17 pool/red-23 pool/red-28 pool/... pool/green-20 pool/green-33 pool/... pool/yellow-5 pool/yellow-22 pool/... into the respective subdirectories: pool/red/red-17 pool/red/red-23 pool/red/red-28 pool/red/... pool/green/green-20 pool/green/green-33 pool/green/... pool/yellow/yellow-5 pool/yellow/yellow-22 pool/yellow/...
