The following powershell script will move all files in declared directory into subfolders based on the firs 3 letters in the name of the files.
So I have over 200 files of which the first 3 letters are the language, eg: fre = French, eng = English etc.
I want each moved to a subfolder of the corresponding language, eg. all starting with fre to the fre subfolder, all starting with eng to the eng subfolder etc.
In the code below, I marked comments with this color and the 2 most important lines with this color.
Update the code below with your desired input directory and number of characters, and copy/paste it into any powershell window, then press Enter.
#Define Parent Folder
$directory = "D:\TEST"
#Go to Parent Folder
cd $directory
#Get all children in Parent Folder -- Filter Here as needed
$files = Get-ChildItem
# Go to every child and see if a path exists for them
foreach ($File in $files){
#Adjust substring for what is important, change 3 to the desired number of characters from the start of files
$prefix = $File.name.Substring(0,3)
#Join the Parent Folder and Prefix Path
$subdirectoryPath = Join-Path -Path $directory -ChildPath $prefix
#IF folder doesn't exist create one
if(!(Test-Path $subdirectoryPath -PathType Container))
{
New-Item $directory -Name $prefix -ItemType "Directory" -Force
}
#Define Destination Folder
$destinationPath = Join-Path -Path $subdirectoryPath -ChildPath $File.Name
#Move the File to the new path
Move-Item -Path $File.FullName -Destination $destinationPath -Force

Instead of hardcoding the folder and the number of characters, one could change the following 2 lines:
$directory = "D:\TEST"
$prefix = $File.name.Substring(0,3) |
to
$directory = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter directory where files are located"
$numb = Read-Host -Prompt "Enter desired number of characters"
$prefix = $File.name.Substring(0,$numb) |
PS1 files, unless code is copied to powershell, are not easy to run in order to protect the system. So...
Either hardcode the .ps1 file location into a .bat file, or use a similar input prompt. Save the following as .bat file:
@echo off
REM This is hardcoded folder location
REM set /p uPath="D:\TEST\MoveFiles.ps1"
REM Or use the following line to enter the PS1 file location at a prompt:
set /p uPath=Enter full path to ps1 file:
REM Now run the PS1
PowerShell.exe -NoProfile -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -File %uPath% |

I had problems with a directory name with characters like . and [ ].
Moved the files out of that folder to D:\TEST and no more problems.
