For this one, you'll need the TextCommands osax. Download TextCommands.

Change the folder and path names as needed, of course.

Code: Select all
my hazelProcessFile(leFiche)

on hazelProcessFile(leFiche)
   tell application "Finder"
      set leComments to comment of (leFiche as alias)
   end tell
   
   tell application "TextCommands"
      set dossierNom to strip (first word of leComments) removing "&project_" from left end
   end tell
   
   tell application "Finder"
      set leDestination to make new folder at folder "What" of (path to documents folder) with properties {name:dossierNom}
      move leFiche to leDestination
   end tell
end hazelProcessFile
