Moving Files Based on Filename

[supasaiyan]

Anyone know software that can move files based on their filename to designated folders?

ie; 1234.jpg to be moved to folder 1234
4566.avi to be moved to folder 4566

I have the folder's already set up

Running Windows? Are the files all in the same folder? Are the new folders under the one with the files in it? Try this from a prompt (after changing to the required directory):

for %i in (*.*) do move "%i" "%~ni"

yep windows

so it would be like this

C:\files
within this folder, there's all the abc.jpg, 123.avi, 456.gif

I want to move the abc.jpg file to folder called abc
123.avi to a folder call 123
456.gif to folder 456

all the folders have already been created...

That command should do it then. C:\files\abc.jpg will be moved to C:\files\abc\abc.jpg

I don't understand this thread at all. Why would anyone put single files into single directories/folders of the same name?

Could be any number of reasons why they want to.
Perhaps they are movie indexing and want each movie in each individual folder, then they can add artwork, subs, etc to each particular folder.
Who knows?
More importantly...can you help with the OPs original question?

I think bulkrename utility can do this...but it can be a bit hard to use for me. You might fare better

(bold mine)

Of course I'd like to help the OP, but there is no point in doing that is the specification/requirement of the OP is not 100% clear... might end up worse off than in the first place if I give a command or batch file to do what I "think" the OP wants but it's not really what the OP wants
