I spent some time browsing the previously asked questions, but none of them seem to match my needs.
The problem I'm having is that my file names use dots, but no spaces.
My folder names use spaces, not dots.
For example, I have a file named C:FilesOne.Two.Three.Four.12.34.5.pdf
The corresponding folder is named C:FilesOne Two Three Four
I would like a script that would detect all of the .pdf files in the C:Files directory, all of the folders in the C:Files directory, and then figure out which folder the file should be placed into based on the naming structure given previously.
I'm having a problem with the dots being in the file name, but not in the folder name, as well as the fact that there's the extra 12.34.5 at the end of the file name that is not in the corresponding folder name. Also, the extra stuff after the One.Two.Three.Four tend to change randomly. It's not always 12.34.5.
Any ideas? Any help I could get would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
