Hello, I hope you understand my problem, my English is not so good:

I want save file for example:

hello_name_customer1.ai

It should move to my server, there are existing folders of customers. (customer1, customer2...)

Now I want that haze find out in file name the word "customer1" and move it into existing folder "customer1".

Is there any way?

So:

test_customer1.pdf
customer1_text_1.ai
testtest_customer1_test.pdf

move to existing folder -> customer1


Thanks

Tobi

Yes, look up "match patterns" in the manual. You can set up a custom attribute to match the customer name and then use that in a Sort into subfolder action.

Hello, sorry I tried everything.
Here again, I hope there is a solution, maybe someone have idea how exactly it works.

I have on desktop files for example:

apple_mark.pdf
Cherry_tobi.pdf
banana_hello.pdf

And I have folders (existing folders) with names

mark
tobi
hello


Now I want that the files apple_mark.pdf move to „mark“
Cherry_tobi.pdf -> tobi
banana_hello -> hello


I want that files from desktop which contains names of EXISTING folders sorted in this.
If file name on desktop contains same word as folder name, then sort in.

Possible?

When you say you tried everything, can you post what it is you tried specifically?
