Batch program to move files to separate folders

jtap06 · 2009-04-30 09:28

Tried a search but nothing came up. Looking for a batch script that will move all of a film's .avi/.mkv, .tbn, .nfo, etc. into a separate folder. I am sure you guys know what I mean.

Thanks!

If you're using windows: This is what I use:
http://www.thehtpc.net/files/file2folder.rar

Article here: http://www.thehtpc.net/?s=rename

Only catch is, that cd1 and cd2 will be moved to different folders, simply find, move and remove empty folders, presto.

Exactly what I was looking for as well :-)
I was about to write my own one but didn't find any time to do it.

Awesome! Thanks a lot FernFerret. Just what I needed. You wouldn't happen to know the code to have it so that -fanart will also be placed in the new folders as well would you? Or if anyone else knows? Thanks though. You saved me a lot of clicky clicks! Smile

Well I think I'll end up writing my own program nonetheless which will move all the NFOs, fanarts, tbn, trailers etc to a new folder and rename the files.

This batch script only moves the files to new folders leaving me with all my additional files in the original place.

I'm sure fekker made one ages ago that I used at the time to transfer over to folders.

If you are on windows - i have a .net program that i threw together that can move the nfo,fanart,tbn and rename them. I need to polish it up. Ill post a link tonight around 9pm EST.
