I am looking to sort approximately 3,000 pdf files into their own folders. All 3,000 files are in one folder and follow the same format.

COURSE NAME - EMPLOYEEFIRSTNAME EMPLOYEELASTNAME

I have made all the folders, but now want to move the appropriate PDF document into the corresponding folder. but found this handy answer to get me started: How to sort files into folders, according to file names - Windows CMD.

This is what I'm currently trying to modify:

:: C:UsersUserDesktopTraining Test.cmd

@Echo off 

PushD "C:UsersUserDesktopTraining Test"



For %%A in (*.pdf) do For /F "tokens=2,3delims=-." %%B in ("%%A") Do (

  If Not exist "%%B" MD "%%B"

  Move "%%A" "%%B"

)

PopD

What I'm finding is that it's creating a new folder with a space in front of the employee name. I have a folder named "EMPLOYEEFIRST EMPLOYEELAST", but its making a new folder of " EMPLOYEEFIRST EMPLOYEELAST" (note the space at the beginning).

I have also noticed that it creates a new folder for those employees with a hyphenated first or last name. EMPLOYEE-FIRST EMPLOYEE-LAST just turns into a new folder of " EMPLOYEE".

I'm very new to all of this. Is there a way of resolving the issues with the space in the folder name and hyphenated names?
