/* using System; using System.IO; using System.Text.RegularExpressions; */ static void DoMoveFiles( string sourceFolder, string targetBaseFolder) { var rx = new Regex(@ "(? \d{4}\-[a-z]+\-\d{1,2}\-\d{1,2})(? \-\s\d+)?" , RegexOptions.IgnoreCase); foreach (var fn in Directory.GetFiles(sourceFolder, "*.pdf" )) { var mt = rx.Match(Path.GetFileNameWithoutExtension(fn)); if (mt.Success) { var path = Path.Combine(targetBaseFolder, mt.Groups[ "base" ].Value); if (!Directory.Exists(path)) { Directory.CreateDirectory(path); } File.Move(fn, Path.Combine(path, Path.GetFileName(fn))); } else { // oops ... file named odd } } }
