## newcomics_compressme contains about 40 subdirectories with names like "40" or "30.1". In each subdirectory are several image files.
# What I want to do is turn this nested directory into a "flat" one, where what used to be /newcomics_compressme/30.1/4.png becomes /newoutput/30.1-4.png.

# So my idea is..

# For each directory ("40", "30.1", etc)
for dir in */Users/SuitCase/Desktop/newcomics_compressme/;
# Go through each file in it, and..
for file in "$dir"/*;
# Copy it out to newoutput, with the format "$dir-$file".
do cp -- "$file" /Users/SuitCase/Desktop/newoutput/"$dir-$file";
done

done

# But my syntax must be wrong. This script gets 
# ./newcopy.sh: line 11: syntax error near unexpected token `for'
# ./newcopy.sh: line 11: `for file in "$dir"/*;'
