The button as a .dcf file ([How to add buttons from this forum to your toolbars](https://resource.dopus.com/t/how-to-add-buttons-from-this-forum-to-your-toolbars/3546/1)):  
[Copy to Student Name Folders.dcf](https://resource.dopus.com/uploads/default/original/3X/4/6/46f3740a4431e80313281613de77f46b5f5d3902.dcf) (2.44 KB)

The script code, for reference (also contained in the .dcf file above):

[code]@script JScript  
function OnClick(clickData)  
{  
var cmd = clickData.func.command;  
cmd.deselect = false; // Prevent automatic deselection  
cmd.ClearFiles(); // Command object should ignore selection (we'll specify paths as arguments)

```
var destPath = clickData.func.desttab.path;

for (var eSel = new Enumerator(clickData.func.sourcetab.selected); !eSel.atEnd(); eSel.moveNext())
{
	var fileDestPath = GetDestPath(eSel.item().name_stem, destPath);
	cmd.RunCommand("Copy \"" + eSel.item().realpath + "\" TO \"" + fileDestPath + "\"");
}

```

}

function GetDestPath(fileName, destPath)  
{  
var folderEnum = DOpus.FSUtil.ReadDir(destPath, false);  
var fileNameUpper = new String(fileName).toUpperCase();

```
while (!folderEnum.complete)
{
	var folderItem = folderEnum.next;
	var folderName = new String(folderItem.name_stem);
	var namePart = folderName.replace(/^(.+) \(.*\)$/, "$1");
	var namePartUpper = namePart.toUpperCase();

	if (fileNameUpper.indexOf(namePartUpper) === 0
	&&	(fileNameUpper.length === namePartUpper.length
	|| fileNameUpper[namePartUpper.length] === " "))
	{
		return folderItem.realpath;
	}
}

return destPath;

```

}[/code]
