[safdar19]

Hello everyone

I have a folder that have thousands of  image files

I want to organize them, by creating folders within the root folder, and moving 300 files in each newly created folder according to there last modified time.

I not posible to sort acording to last modified time, random moving of files will also do. New  folders should be named as 1, 2, 3 etc. Not able to fuigure out how to do it. 

Any help ?

I would start with

FileListToArray

FileGetTime for sorting

_ArraySort

For Next loop

Create new folder with a $var

and after 300 Create new folder with $var +1

FileMove ...

I would start with reading the Help file, becoming familiar with what can be done with AutoIt. As I'm browsing thru the Help file, thoughts would cross my mind, like, "Hmm, this'll do what I want.". BTW, all the functions mentioned above by Xenobiologist will do just what you're looking for. Now I'm sure that sooner or later someone here will post some code that may or may not be just what you're looking to do, but I suggest coming up with some code yourself, then post it and any "why?" questions..

Thanks for the help.

The funtions mentioned by Xenobiologist has got me started.

When I run

For $var = 1 to 3
   DirCreate($var)
      Next

It creates folders named 1 to 3 on the desktop,

but I want to create folders here

E:BackupsImages of c drive

when I run

For $var = 1 to 3
   DirCreate("E:BackupsImages of c drive$var")
      Next

It just creates a folder named $var

You need to concatenate the Variable to the literal string:

"E:\Backups\Images of c drive\" & $var
