Hello!

I am trying to organize a lot of folders contained within the same folder, most of them follow this standard when it COMES to the folder name:

"(code) XXX NAME (Source) XXX"
//XXX represents random text that may be present.
// The first parenthesis is not always present either.

So, for example, I have a folder NAMED "(C323) Fox (Carnivore)" within my folder "Animals" and need for the batch to take the contents within the last parenthesis and make a folder with that name (if it doesnt exist already) and move the ORIGNAL folder "(C323) Fox (Carnivore)" to the new folder "Carnivore".

I have tried looking on stackoverflow and even asking myself, since all the similar things i find are for file names instead of folder names, I cant make it work.

I noticed what I was asking is very similar to topic=152980.0 posted by doshisahil95 on this very forum, just that its a folder name and the folder name would be that of the parenthesis.

Is this at all DOABLE?

I include my failure at making my own code, just for some laughs:

   for /D "tokens=1* delims=()" %%D in ("!fname!") do set folname=%%D
   echo folder name !folname!
   if not exist "!folname!" (
      echo Folder !folname! does not exist, creating
      md "!folname!"
   ) else (
      echo Folder !folname! exists
   )
   echo Moving file %%A to folder !folname!
   move "%%A" "!folname!"
   )
echo Finished
