Solve : Batch File, moves only jpg?

Answer»

Hello all.
Been COMING to this site for YEARS for answers.

I do a lot of 4chan surfing an even have an auto download tool (beware it CARES less what it grabs lol)

so I have alot of mix file types I'd like a bat to send to their own folders.
I'm  using win7 (netbook)

I thought this would work for sure

echo on
move *.JPG C:\Users\******\Documents\Batch Testing 2\File Sort testing
pause

I'm getting " Cannot move multiple files to a single file "

I had a FEELING to try another drive so I plugged my flashdrive in an it worked fine.

does the C drive stop such ?
Try This


move *.JPG C:\Users\******\Documents\"Batch Testing 2"\"File Sort testing"\*.* Quote

C:\Users\******\Documents\Batch Testing 2\File Sort testing

Does this folder actually exist?

nope. got this

C:\Users\******\Documents\Batch Testing 2\File Sort testing>move *.JPG C:\
Users\*******\Documents\"Batch Testing 2"\"File Sort testing"\*.*
The syntax of the command is incorrect.

C:\******\Documents\Batch Testing 2\File Sort testing>pause
Press any key to continue . . .The quotes need to go around the whole path

Code: [SELECT]move *.JPG "C:\Users\******\Documents\Batch Testing 2\File Sort testing"
this should do it

Success
When I was added the path for the source it " syntax of the command is incorrect."
however when I ran it in the source folder it works fine.
