Put folders inside folders that start with the same name

[wenchoheelio]

Hi, I'm new to this application.

Wondering if anyone could help me in the right direction.

I have folders called (for example):
Blue 23.01.16_BG
Blue 23.01.16
Red_BG 23.01.16
Red 23.01.16
Green_BG 23.01.16
Green 23.01.16

I'd like to move 'Blue 23.01.16_BG' into another folder on my computer called 'Blue BG'
and I'd like to move 'Blue 23.01.16' into another folder on my computer called 'Blue'
etc, etc.

I guess I'd need to match the beginning and end of the folder name with the destination folder name?

Any help on how I could do this would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Search the help for "match patterns". If you run into specific problems with it, post back here.

Hi thanks. I had a look into this and it looks good but I don't believe it would help me because all the folder names are different (they don't have the same patterns). I need to match the exact words into the exact words in folders they will go into. I don't want to create new folders as I already have the named folders on my system.
I hope this makes sense.

I'm sorry. I have now figured this one out using patterns! It's SO GOOD! Lovely app. Thank you very much.
