Batch Moving of specific files into new folders

[mrnike]

Hi folks,
Is there a way to automate the following:

1) Copy the folder structure (only) of all folders containing files with the caracters "(Original)" in their name.
2) Move the files with the .flac extension to the new copied folders, but only the files which name
does notcontain the specified characters "(Original)" ?

Exemple:

Initial:
F:/Music/The Beatles/Let it be.flac
F:/Music/The Beatles/Let it be(Original).flac
F:/Music/The Beatles/Cover.jpg

After processing:
F:/Music/The Beatles/Let it be(Original).flac (untouched)
F:/Music/The Beatles/Cover.jpg (untouched)
F:/Music/Processed/The Beatles/Let it be.flac (new folders created and
files moved)

Thanks a lot in advance !

Nico

Maybe my question is unclear. So I will try to make it clearer.

I would like to know whether it is possible to automate the following:

1) make a file query
2) copy the folder structure of the files matching the query
3) move the files to the new folders ?

Thanks

It didn't ...

BAsed on your first post:

• In TC, browse to F:\music
• Menu:Commands > Search
• Check if Search in: is indeed F:\music
• Search for = *.flac|*(original).flac
• Press the Feed to listbox button
• Select all files in the Serach Results tab
• Menu:Files > Multi-Rename Tool
• Rename mask: file name = ..\Processed\[P]\[N]
• Press the Start! button
• Done.

Note: Try it first with some dummy data as it wasn't tested thoroughly.

Note2: The use of ..\Processed\[P]\[N] is very unintuitive; I would expect ..\..\Processed\[P]\[N] to do the job.

Note3: If you aslo have Everything installed (useful for very fast file searching in TC), you would have more options for moving the files as the multi-rename tool is limited in that regard (btw: this renaming/moving would be even easier to realize in Everything).

It partially worked. But the parameters are way too complicated for me to investigate further.
Furthermore i found another easier solution.
Thanks anyway.

Thanks for your feedback!

Could you share your easier solution here, so other people with a similar question can benefit from it?
