split 1 folder with 160.000 files in 8 different folders with 20.000 files per f

[derksen1986]

currently i have the specific files (160.000) in 1 folder which is named ''PL''

I want to split the files in 8 different folders (named: stream1, stream2,..,stream which contain 20.000 files each.

within those folders i have 3 subfolders called ''set1, set2, set3) where i want to split the 20.000 files in 3.

is there a possibility to create an easy script where i can move those 160.000 files in 8 folders, and eventually those 20.000 each in 3 subfolders?[/color]


Would be great if you could help me.

Is this homework or a real world thing?

Make it more simple. Do it incrementally.

Write a batch that with move the first 20,000 files.
when it is done... wait a bit. The do it gain.
Use a pencil and paper to keep track of how many times.
Stop after you haw done it 8 times.
Check and see if the fold is now empty.

That s after than trying to figure out how to make it faster.
