I am trying to create a Hazel script which will organize comics into folders based on the comic title of the file. I have comic files (cbz files) that are in a folder, and they are organized by name and issue number (ex. Deadpool (2013) 01; Deadpool (2013) 02; Deadpool (2013) 03; etc.). In that same folder are sets of other comics as well (ex. Batman (1963) 01; Batman (1963) 02; etc.).

Since they are all inside of one folder, what I am currently doing to organize them is sorting the files by name, highlighting all of the issues with the same names and placing them into a new folder. Then I have to rename that folder based on the comic (Batman (1963) or Deadpool (2013), etc.)

Does anyone have a good idea on how or if I can get Hazel to accomplish this task?

Thank you!!

Search the Hazel's help for "match patterns". That should allow you to have Hazel grab the comic name and then sort it into a folder with that name. If you run into specific problems with it, report back here.
