Here's the problem.
I have a ton of daily folders. Each day has 1-5 folders. In each folder are several unique files.
I would like a fast way to move those unique files from those daily folders into folders sorted alphabetically so they are easier to find.
Is there a way to do this in Opus.
Select all the daily folders in one pane. Have the A-Z folders in the other pane. Execute the command to move the files into the correct A-Z folder.
Thanks.
Why do you need all those A-Z folders, when you can have it sorted in one directory? Something like
COPY UPDATEALL
Set Sortby=name
should work. With the folders is off course also possible, using some REGEX stuff, but i can´t tell you how exactly, sorry.
The total number of files is well over 5k in all those daily folders. I would really like to have them broken down into something manageable and easy to find.
This regular expression rename will move files into subdirectories named after their first letter:
Old name: b.*[/b]
New name: \1\\0
That idea can be extended to a button which puts the files into subdirectories in a specific place (instead of below where the files are currently):
Rename REGEXP PATTERN (^[^.]).* TO "E:\\Temp\\\1\\\0"Replace E:\Temp with the appropriate path.
Note that you have to double any \ characters in the path because the path is part of the regex code and a single \ has special meaning.
By the way, the [^.] part means that files which start with a . will be ignored, since "." isn't a valid directory name.
