Ask HN: Language Recommendations for a Manga Organizing Program?

I am getting tired of having to wait until I have a day I can afford to waste to organize my last several weeks of reading for archival purposes. I have a specific directory on my HD, and then each series has a sub-directory under that. I then have another directory where I keep the "read" folders. Conceptually I need to walk the read list, find a name that matches a directory in the archive directory within the folder name (usually the folder name will be longer due to group and other designations) from the read list, rename the read list folder to follow my personal convention (<Series Name><space><"ch"><space>Chapter #>), and then move it to the archive directory on my HD. Ideally also copy it at that point to my Backup Archive HD (which has an identical archive directory structure).

I know I "could" do this in C++ or Python (or any number of other languages), but it's been a while since I've done any file manipulation programming. So wondering if there's anything out there that would be more "ideal" for writing such a program?
