    Automate movement between multiple source files to multiple destination folders


    I have many client files that I am trying to move to destination folders, ideally all at once. I have a folder that contains a lot hundreds to thousands of client folders. Each client folder contains a file that I want to move into a subfolder within their folder. The file name and subfolder name are the same in each client's file. I am fairly sure that there is a way to automate this and iterate through each client until all of the files are moved. This would save me hours of manual clicking and dragging. I have some basic Python and C++ experience so I am comfortable trying to code a .bat

    :)
