The best way I can explain my question is by giving an example. Let's say that I have two main folders that I'd like to populate with subfolders. These two main folders are called "Duplicates" and "Unique."
I have a text-based list of Duplicates that looks something like this "LL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6; LL 3, 8, 22, 47; LL 18, 12, 31; ..." I would like to use this list to create subfolders within the Duplicate folder.
Duplicates LL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 LL 3, 8, 22, 47 LL 18, 12, 31 ...Then, in another location, I have folders containing files for each LL #. The folders are labeled as such "LL # - XX.XX.XXXX" where "XX.XX.XXXX" is a date. I would like the script to be able to identify if the LL #'s match and move the folder containing the files to the appropriate subfolder within the Duplicates folder.
So for example:
Duplicates LL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 LL 1 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 2 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 4 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 5 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 6 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 3, 8, 22, 47 LL 3 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 8 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 22 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 47 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 18, 12, 31 LL 18 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 12 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 31 - XX.XX.XXXX ...Then, for the Unique folder, I have another list of Unique values that looks something like "LL 7; LL 9; LL 10; ..." I would like to populate the "Unique" folder with the appropriate matching file-containing folder.
Unique LL 7 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 9 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 10 - XX.XX.XXXX ...So, all in all, I'd like it to look something like this:
Duplicates LL 1, 2, 4, 5, 6 LL 1 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 2 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 4 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 5 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 6 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 3, 8, 22, 47 LL 3 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 8 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 22 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 47 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 18, 12, 31 LL 18 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 12 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 31 - XX.XX.XXXX ...Unique LL 7 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 9 - XX.XX.XXXX LL 10 - XX.XX.XXXX ...How might I go about doing this?
