Thx! Piero

3) move file file01_*.txt,pdf to folder "file01" I hope that comma is a typo. ===================================== If at first you don't succeed, you're about average. M2

3) move file file01_*.txt,pdf to folder "file01" = 3) move file file01_*.txt & file01.pdf to folder "file01" :)

It's not pretty. I am lazy. Don't know what to do with pdg files, but you should be able to see how to amend. Change the path pushd z:\your\path @echo off & setlocal EnableDelayedExpansion pushd z:\your\path for %%a in (*) do ( set dirname=%%~na md !dirname:~0,6!\images 2> nul move !dirname:~0,6!*.tif !dirname:~0,6!\images move !dirname:~0,6!*.pdg !dirname:~0,6!\images move !dirname:~0,6!*.txt !dirname:~0,6! move !dirname:~0,6!*.pdf !dirname:~0,6! ) popd exit
