Looping through Matching strings to complete actions...

Hi guys,

I have a relatively easy one that's been bugging me for a while!

If i have the following files in the following pathname and folder: "C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\"

-------------------------------
Jazz classics vol1 Disc 1.ape
Jazz Classics vol1 Disc 2.ape
Cuesheet1.cue
Cuesheet2.cue
-------------------------------
I'd like to do the following with them:

1) use the filename of EACH ape file (minus the extension) as a findstr to see if it exists in
ANY of the cuefiles in the same folder.
2) If findstr command finds a match in the cuesheet I need it to create a folder based on the
.ape filename that it found the match in and move the .ape file and the corresponding .cue file to that folder.
3) I need it to loop through the whole low level folder and do this with every ape file in the folder c:\music

Anyone?

I guess I am confused because based on his description wouldn't he end up with the following structure:
C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 1.ape
C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 1\Cuesheet1.cue
C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 2\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 2.ape
C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 2\Cuesheet2.cue

C:\music\Jazz\Jazz Classics Vol1 Disc1\Jazz classics vol1 Disc 2\Cuesheet2.cue

Yes, I thought that too.
Maybe he meant the .cue files have the same filename as the .ape ones? And this example was just to, well, illustrate the situation?

Can cuesheet1.cue or Cuesheet2.cue have both "Jazz Classics vol1 Disc 2.ape" and "Jazz Classics vol1 Disc 2.ape" inside them?

The cue/ape files will be moved with the first match and so can't be compared for the second and subsequent .ape files.
