400 files need folders.

[Calvayne]

I have about 400 files and I need to figure out a way to make a folder for each of them that is named based on each file's name and I need to copy the file into the matching folder. This would take hours to do manually any way I can make a batch file to do it? Thanks for the help guys.

copy but don't move?

Code: Select all

@echo off
setlocal enableextensions

set "folder=D:\Folder\Your Folder"

cd /d %folder%
for /f "delims=" %%f in ('dir /a-d/b "%folder%"') do (
if not exist "%%~dpnf" (
md "%%~dpnf" &&copy /b "%%f" "%%~dpnf" >nul
) else echo Error: name "%%~dpnf" already exist
)
pause &exit /b

Wow Thanks for the help. The batch file is creating all the folders and naming them correctly but it isnt moving the original files inside the appropriate folders.
