Sort files in folder based on type

I have a folder that has 502 files - 251 .txt files and 251 .ecf files and I want to sort all the files into 2 folders so they're separated by type (so for example I'd have folders called "ecf files" and "text files").

I wrote a code to sort the files based on name so is it possible to modify this to sort by type? Thank you!

no_folders = input('How many folders would you like to create? ');

no_runs = input('How many runs? ');

names = {};

for i=1:no_folders

name_temp = input(sprintf('Enter name of folder %i ',i),"s");

names{i} = name_temp;

mkdir(names{i});

end

%stores .txt output files into files using dir()

files = dir('*.txt');

file_names = {files.name};

for k=1:no_folders

for j=1:no_runs

if contains(file_names{j},names{k})==1

movefile(file_names{j}, names{k});

end

end

end

mkdir('ecfFiles')
mkdir('txtFiles')
movefile('*.ecf','ecfFiles')
movefile('*.txt','txtFiles')
