Too much guys, I become stuck-up
Speaking of learning: If there's something you don't understand in my code then please ask.

Code: Select all

@echo off &setlocal DisableDelayedExpansion
for %%i in (*.*) do if "%%~i" neq "%~nx0" for /f "tokens=* delims=." %%j in ("%%~xi") do (
  if not exist "%%j\" md "%%j"
  move "%%~i" "%%j\"
)

Steffen

Code: Select all

 
for /f "tokens=* delims=." %%j in ("%%~xi")

What is %%~xi? (you said i could ask... its easier than sifting through google)

[aGerman]

You don't need google to find out how a certain command works. Just execute COMMAND /? (FOR /? in that case).
To answer your question - the ~x is a modifier to expand the FOR variable to the file extension only. "tokens=* delims=." removes the leading dot. Finally the extension without the dot is assigned to %%j.
