SOLVED!

Hey all. Appreciate some help with following challenge. Structure of folders/files is:

Source:
Folder A
Folder X
File 1
File 2
Folder Y
File 1
File 2
File 3
...

Target:
Folder B
Folder C

I want to move the files in Folder X to Folder B, and those in Folder Y to Folder C. I have individual rules for Folders X & Y already, and these work just fine. However, I would like to have a single set of rules for Folder A that deals with all sub-folders contained.

Appreciate any guidance on this.

What is the relationship between X and B as well as Y and C?

I've since resolved. Key was not to look at Processing Subfolders in the help menu, but instead to look at Using Nested Conditions:

Rule 1: Go into subfolders
Rule 2: Move to Folder B

Code: Select all

If all of the following conditions are met
     If all of the following conditions are met for its enclosing folder
          Name is Folder X
     Move to Folder B

I have this repeated for 8 folders and files are moving flawlessly to their correct target locations.

Good to hear. You may want to check out Hazel's table functionality. It might be possible to consolidate those to one rule.
