Need A Batch File Arranger

[Steve-O]

Ok, I have 700 odd games for my Mobile phone and I was wondering if someone could code me or let me know a code that I could put in a text file and make a BAT file which can create folders, eg "0, A, B, C....... Z" and put each file into its own folder eg "KingKong.Jar" would go into folder "K" etc etc

Thanks

Im just going to have a quick fiddle around for now and see If I can do it...

Ok, Started off

IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir 0
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir A
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir B
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir C
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir D
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir E
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir F
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir G
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir H
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir I
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir J
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir K
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir L
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir M
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir N
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir O
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir P
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir Q
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir R
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir S
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir T
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir U
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir V
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir W
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir X
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir Y
IF NOT EXIST DUMMY mkdir Z

now to work out how to arrange them into the folders hhhmmmmmmm


OMG I DONE IT!!!!!! THIS IS THE GREATEST FEELING IN THE WORLD!!! LOL !!!!

I used

copy 7* 0

and it copied all files that started in 7 to folder 0

now to complete my work and post the final code for everyone to use

You mean something like this?

Ha Ha Ha finished at the same time mines the same as his just already in a bat

Oh and mine just shoves all numbered ones in the same folder.

hehe

going to try and add more features to mine, seems a good way to learn how to do things

originally wanted files 1 - 9 to goto one folder but then I counted up how many their was and decided to put them in their own

I jsut made mine delete everything as well. It deletes all letters but O and then deletes itself lol. It archives itself first. Should stop it deleting itself I suppose but Im tired lol

Because I could.

@echo off
verify other 2>nul
setlocal enableextensions
if errorlevel 1 (
  echo Unable to enable command extensions
  goto end
)
if "%1" == "" (
  echo Syntax: %~nx0 ^<source folder^>
  goto end
)
pushd %1
for %%I in (*) do (
  set NAME=%%~nI
  set TARGET=%~dp0sorted\!NAME:~0,1!
  if not exist !TARGET! mkdir !TARGET!
  echo Moving %%I to !TARGET!
  move %%I !TARGET!
)
popd
:end
endlocal
