Hi pros,

We recently purchase a MacMini just to use Hazel. But have some questions from the community.

Background;

We have a folder of 10k images named randomly, with excpetion for a common number in the middle of each image.

Go we wanted to do the following:

1) Sort all images by group using the -XXX- number as a folder and move each of the files into these NEW folders

We are able to find the images based on a file match but have not figured out how to

a) Create a sub-folder with the group number
b) Move the images to the new sub-folder


If anyone has a suggestion we would appreciate it.,

Cheers

I emailed you a response. BTW, try to only post here or email support as I feel like I need to re-type my responses in both places. In short, use "matches" and create a pattern with a custom token to match the number in between the dashes.
