Sorting Files Into Subfolders...into subfolders?

So I am attempting to organize a server with 140 different top level folders named 000-"Folder Name"to 140-"Folder Name". In each of those folders are 3 folders, named 01-Website, 02-Marketing, 03-Campaigns (bare with me). In each of those folders there are folders named 01-Copy, 02-Images, 03-Banners, and so on and so forth. I was hoping to be able to drop a file named 121-02-03-Hero Banner1.jpg into the top folder, and have it sort into 121-"folder name" into subfolder 02-folder, into subfolder 03-folder. Is this even possible to do? this would be a HUGE help! If you need any more details please let me know and I can elaborate further.

- Thanks!

Yes. Search the help for "match patterns". You want to create 3 custom tokens to match those 3 parts and then use them in a subfolder pattern. You can use the path separator token (the right pointing triangle) to specify different nested folder levels.
