2444, Program to sort files by "name" into folders
Posted by happyware, Mon Dec-17-01 11:21 PM
for example if I had 5000 pictures in a directory and I wanted to place them in numbered folders (named 0-9) and sort them into these folder.

For example all files with "_02" I want to place into the folder called "C:\2\" and so on.

I know the long way.... (using the find command in the folder where the images or files appear) but this is something I want done automatically. Anysoftware that would allow this by clicking a few buttons? I don't have trouble doing basic scripts (if the program is well documented) and I'm in the process of working on a windows type program for this purpose but until then I'm pretty stuck.

Hopefully a solution exists! =-)
