hello sir,
how to filter files ending in letter 'L' and send them to 'L' folder?

Code: Select all

moveto("L", quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc");

This should work.

The \.[^.]+$ will match any extension.

/n switch the restrict search to exclude subfolders
/c switch will make it case-sensitive

Run this first to make sure you're selecting the correct files:

Code: Select all

text quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc");

thanks for your script.
moveto("L", quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc");
with above script, i am getting the error, the destination you have selected doen't exist. couldn't create new path. the file operation will not happen.

And in which directory are you, when you execute the command?

Btw, the command isn't syntactically correct. It's missing an ending
")" but even more so, it shouldn't use them at all. It's not a function,
it doesn't has a return value.

Code: Select all

moveto "L", quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc");

i am in folder D:\Partronics eboards Pvt.Ltd\IPIS\Wav Files\Digits - Copy\.

i am getting the error "the following items does not exist."
it is giving script error.

Screenshot of that error. If that folder really has write access it shouldn't fail to create a subfolder

Use the correct script call from viewtopic.php?p=174303#p174303
...

[kotlmg]

it is not working

[highend]

Ok. Show the belonging screen shots of the error message you're getting after using
the command I posted above...

Then either use this:
moveto "L", replace(quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc"), <crlf>, "|");

or update to at least v20.50.0201

[kotlmg]

the above script worked perfectly.
thanks a lot.

moveto "L", replace(quicksearch(">(L)\.[^.]+$ /nc"), <crlf>, "|");

hello sir,
how to extend the above script to files ending in 'A'/'B'/'C'/..'Z'
A should go to A folder.
B should go to B folder.
..
Z should go to Z folder.

Not possible with a single line. Use a while loop and iterate over all chars from A-Z,
find the files that match that ending char with regexmatches and execute the
moveto for these "blocks of files"
