Hi all, I tried to modify this code for my situation, and think it's ok, but i'd also like to add something else. I have about 60k of mp3 and .cdg karaoke files in one folder with multiple artists, I am looking to run a batch file to move all files by a particular artist into a new folder with the artists name and add "greatest hits" to each new folder that gets created. All files have a - after artists name, so I assume this is the delimeter. (coding novice) - would really appreciate and advice or help is getting the code right for the batch file please.....thanks in advance.
Hope this makes sense... and one last thing, do i just remove the text echo to get rid of the pauses ?
@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for %%A in (*.mp3 *.cdg) do (
echo file found %%A
for /f "delims=" %%B in ("%%A") do set fname=%%~nB
for /f "delims=" %%C in ("%%A") do set fextn=%%~xC
for /f "tokens=1* delims=-" %%D in ("!fname!") do set folname=%%D
echo folder name !folname!
if not exist "!folname!" (
echo Folder !folname! does not exist, creating
md "!folname!"
) else (
echo Folder !folname! exists
)
echo Moving file %%A to folder !folname!
move "%%A" "!folname!"
)
echo Finished
pause
