Any help on this issue would be greatly appreciated.  I have been running 100s of tests on a PRODUCT and the results end up in one folder.

The results are stored with the FILE name Test_Report["Part NUMBER"]["Time of test"]["Date of test"].html

I want to make a batch file that will organize the reports by part number into folders labeled with the part number and date.  The part numbers range from 6 numbers to a combination of letters, symbols and numbers up to 15 characters long. 

If you can help that would be awesome.is there any characters Part Number,Time of test, and Date of test


ex
Part Number-Time of test-Date of testJust those brackets

An example would be:

Test_Report[53010N0-10SD-00][6 15 11 AM][7 1 2010].htmlWill there ever be report files which have the same part number but different dates?
Yes that is possible, so the batch file will have to look at both the date and part number to SORT it properly.  I hadn't thought of that, thanks for bringing it to my attentionSo if these files existed

Test_Report[53010N0-10SD-00][6 15 11 AM][7 1 2010].html

Test_Report[53010N0-10SD-00][6 15 11 AM][6 30 2010].html

You would want them in 2 separate folders, called

53010N0-10SD-00 7 1 2010

and

53010N0-10SD-00 6 30 2010

is that right?

Any padding ( e.g. m d yyyy to mm dd yyyy) or desires about white space (e.g. convert to dashes?)

Yes that is exactly what I want. The same formatting of the date is fine. Maybe the date can be inside brackets to not get confused with the part number Code: [Select]echo off
setlocal enabledelayedexpansion
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b Test_Report[*.html') do (
set filename=%%A
for /f "tokens=1-4 delims=[]" %%B in ("!filename!") do (
set FolderName=%%C (%%E^)
if not exist "!FolderName!" md "!FolderName!"
     move "!filename!" "!foldername!"
)
)
echo All files processed
pause

Thank you so much! It WORKED like a charm.  You just saved me from manually sorting through 500+ files
