Windows 10: Batch file to move all the files to folders that start with the same name

I have a folder with pdf files like this

TCH_123.pdf

TCH_573.pdf

EHUB_456.pdf

EHUB_764.pdf

and subfolders with names like TCH and EHUB

I want to write a batch file to move all the files to the folder with the name that the files start with.

I am a total beginner to writing batch files so if you please can help with the batch file and some resources to learn about it.




Thanks

:)

Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

Batch file

it has to open any .spl file present. each time the folder will be cleared when choosing the second option to clear. when another generation is done, another .spl file is created. i run the batch file to open it again when choosing option 1. ya the file name changes each time...
