Batch file to copy X number of files into subfolder

[bmacbmac]

Hello,

I am looking for a batch file or vb script to split out 14,000 files from one directory. I need move move 250 files at a time into sub folders. I doesn't matter which order the files are in I just need 250 files in each folder. The folders are already created. Anyone have a clue as to how I can accomplish this?

Thanks!

Brian

I don't do .NET, but in VB6 you can easily create an .exe that uses the FileSystem object to do this. Do you have any programming experience? I imagine there must be a DOS line command to do this as well, but don't know what it is.

Cogito eggo sum – I think, therefore I am a waffle.

no.. no programming experience. Just with batch files and a little vb to create .vbs scripts. Thanks for replying though!

Post in forum329. VB Script could do this very easily.

you can do this in a bat file but it would require some real programming skills.. counting the files, capturing the directory names and walking the chain.. All without arrays !

i suggest you take a look at a programming lamguage.. like JAVA .. even fortran. The languages have the tools built in to make the job easier
