Batch move based on filenames

Post by alex_x »

Hello! I am trying to use Batch move function to move files (Filenames have this pattern: yyyy-mm-dd - xxxxxx) into new folders by the name of the filename (yyyy).
Which Batch Rename pattern should be used to achieve it?

Actually, I don't think it's possible without scripting. I can make it possible, but I'll wait a bit in case someone proves me wrong.

In the next beta (v25.90.0135), you can use the pattern <name 4>\* in Batch Rename to achieve what you want.
