Solve : Move files with similar names to a designated folder?

1.	Solve : Move files with similar names to a designated folder?
Answer» Hi, I have a DIRECTORY which I created 4 years ago, which has gotten very messy. I have about 200 files in the general directory, and about 250 sub-folders. I want to move all of these 200 files to an appropriate sun-folder. About a year after creating the directory, I realized that I was creating a situation where I would have a difficult time looking for a file I created a long time ago. I set up the sub-folders using the subject name. What I am after is a method to search then directory and associate files which are not in sub-folders, and place then into sub-folders which contain similarly names files. Manually I can do this, but it is very time consuming! Does anyone have any methods or suggestions of how either; a batch file, script, or a software utility can do this task?I really think you should do this manually. Why is moving approx. 200 files from the "general directory" to some sub-directory too difficult? TRYING to find/device a way to do this with you DIRECTLY doing it might consume more time, and be less accurate, than you moving the files yourself. I assume you created these files, so you should know - in many cases, I would think - by looking at the file name what folder a file should be moved to. If you can't recall by just looking at the file name, then you NEED to open the file and take a look.
