Move files based on year

[ajnaraya (Ajay Narayanan)]

I have a folder which consist of subfolder which is shown in image

I want to copy files from this subfolder for example if subfolder name ends with 2020, it should copy all files from 01 Jan 2020 and 14 Jan 2020 and paste it to a new folder named ‘2020’.
Similarly it should done for 2021,2022,2023,2024 by creating separate folder for each year

Hi @ajnaraya

You can use for each file in folder to loop through all the folders
To get the year from the folder path

YearFolder = CurrentFolder.Name.Split(" "c).Last()

In If Condition this will check if folder is created with year or not

Directory.Exists(Path.Combine("YourFolderPath", YearFolder))

In Else Condition- It will create

Hope this helps

I dont need to move the subfolder, i just need to move files within the subfolder.
Example 1 Jan 2020 and 14 Jan 2020 has files inside it. I need to move files from that folder to ‘2020’ folder

Hi @ajnaraya

This will copy only the files inside the folders

Add for each file in a folder inside if condition & move file instead of move folder

In Else similar

Hope this helps
