Hi,

I'm data wrangler in film industry, and I need to sort converted files into specific folder name.
I look into your manual under match patterns, but I can't get it done. Please help.

I want to these files to subfolder stat with their first 4 characters like this,

A
A002
A002C003_190530_R0HH
A002C002_190530_R0HH
C
C001

C001_C001_08138L
B
B002
B002C002_190530_R2AB
B002C001_190530_R2AB
B001
B001C001_190530_R2AB
B001C002_190530_R2AB

Is it possible to do this by single rule?

Thank you.

The formatting didn't come through, I think, but it looks like you only want to file by the first character? If that is the case, create a custom attribute which matches the first character. You can then use that attribute in the "Sort into subfolder" pattern.
