  1. batch file to put only the first 180 files into a new folder


    Hi,

    if this is the wrong sub please let me know
    i have several thousand movie screencap jpg's that i'd like to put into individual folders of 180 screencaps each, can anyone help with a piece of freeware software or the code of a .bat file that can help me to do this please.

    The screencap filenames contains the movie name, a space, then 5 digits going in ascending order ie; if the movie is Blade Runner then filenames are "Blade.Runner 00001.jpg" "Blade.Runner 00002.jpg" etc all the way up to 15000.
    i would like them to be easily accessible so i'd like them to be placed into individual folders of 180 files each ie the first 180 in folder 1, the next 180 into folder 2 etc.

    I have a batch file than can make several folders simply named 1,2,3 etc but if there's a batch file that can allow me to move the files and make a new folder too that'd be great.
    thanks for your help

    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.
