    File vs Folder names similar, but different


    I'm trying to merge some files of mine that have a specific label to a folder with one of the words name in the folder name. The program refuses to let me do so, but it is what I want. How do I move the files into that specific folder? I've tried modifying the file name, but it's not allowing me to do so. Because of the specificity of the wording, it is how I will be able to find it again.

    :)

    How do I remove files with similar names from a folder?

    Hi, simply use file explorer search.

    E.g. type
    *yellow
    in file explorer's search box and all files containing yellow will be listed. Select all but one. Delete those, and you have 1 remaining.

    Example:

    File vs Folder names similar, but different [​IMG]


    Or just pick one of the selected list and copy it to a new folder.
    Repeat selection process.
    Finally delete source folder.

    List file names than a folder.

    Is there a bat file to generate the list of file names that I have inside a folder?
    If possible you can help me to do it or give me suggestions. Thanks in advance.

    Please.

    List file names than a folder.

    Thanks for the suggestion I have obtained the list of the names of my folders, I have another question, you can.
    Or rather to customize several music files with the ending of a custom name.

    It is possible to switch to multiple files with a bat or exampleslash (custom name)blue (custom name) (custom name)pizarron (custom name)table (custom name)
