Move incremental files?

[jeff p]

I'm in desperate need of a batch file to cut and paste files..

I have a sequence of over 5000 images in one folder.
(ie: image_0001.jpg, image_0002.jpg, etc)

And I'd like to be able to move every 48th image to its own folder, in another directory.

Is something like this possible?

Thanks for any help.

This might work (untested):

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
md temp1
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b image*.jpg') do (
set /a c=c+1
if !c! EQU 48 (
move "%%a" temp1
set c=0)
)

Thanks Foxdrive!

May I ask how to include the path directories? Or do I run it from the root directory?

Asuming my source folder is D:\Tests
and destination folder is D:\Tests\Finals

Sorry, I should have mentioned I'm a complete noob.

Thanks again for the reply!

Put it in the folder with the images. It will create a temp1 folder with the 48th series of images, with any luck.

Or use this. Note that I edited the above version to correct an error.

Code: Select all

@echo off
pushd "d:\tests" && (
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
md Finals 2>nul
for /f "delims=" %%a in ('dir /b image*.jpg') do (
set /a c=c+1
if !c! EQU 48 (
move "%%a" Finals
set c=0)
)
)
