Batch file for moving files based on size

[adam6806]

Running windows 7 64 bit. I'm looking for a batch file to use with eventghost to look for movie files from tv shows from one directory and it's sub directories and place them in different directories based on size. So greater than 600 mb is a movies and less than is a tv show. There was a post on a similar topic but I never saw the finished product. As I don't know anything of the language of batch files I was hoping someone could help me out based on the other thread here http://www.computerhope.com/forum/index.php?topic=111060.0 Thanks sooo much in advance!!

Where are you going to move the files to? Will the batch script need to create new folders?

One of them has to be less than or equal or greater than or equal. So if the file is exactly 600MB is it a Movie or TV show?

It could be a really really long TV show... I have a 54 minute Dexter episode that is 605 MB.

I am not much of a Movie or TV buff but I am wondering if the files have meta tags like Music files do? If so is there a cmd line utility we could use to access that file info or could a VBscript access it. This is assuming that the meta tags tell you if it is a TV show or Movie.

It will not be necessary to create folders. They should move to an existing movie or tv folder.

As far as size maybe equal to or less than 625 for TV shows and > for movies.

No idea on that one.

Thanks for the response guys.

Does Task Scheduler not do what you need?
I'm just curious.

Ah yes I do remember seeing a thread about that software on another forum I frequent many moons ago.  There are a few other programs that do that as well.

Probably but the learning curve isn't as rough with the Belvedere for someone who has never used either.
