.bat batch move file to folder based on filename + remove string
I have a folder with thousands of filenames like this. I need to put them inside folders and remove the useless parts from the filenames. I need to do this before adding the files inside my XBMC library.
[ www.AnnoyingSpam.com ] Some.File.Name.With.A.Very.Long.String.avi
[ www.AnnoyingSpam.com ] Another.File.With.A.Very.Long.String.mpg
[ www.AnnoyingSpam.com ] Again.And.Again.mp4
- First, I want to strip the AnnoyingSpam.com tags in the files
- Then, create a folder based on the file name without the tag and without the extension
- Finally, move the file to the new folder
- Repeat for the rest of the files in the root directory of the batch file
So far all I got is a script that will create folder and move files. But it adds the tag "Folder" to each folder and it doesn't remove the AnnoyingSpam.com tag
So my question is how can i remove these strings from the folder names that are being created in the above script:@echo off
for /f "usebackq delims=?" %%a in (`dir /a-d /b`) do (
if not "%%~dpnxa"=="%~dpnx0" call :func "%%~a"
)
goto :EOF
:func
set file=%~1
set dir=%file% Folder
md "%dir%" Folder 2>nul
move "%file%" "%dir%"
goto :EOF
"[ www.AnnoyingSpam.com ]"
" Folder"
