That seems to be formatted to move files opposed to folders.
I changed to to what I thought may work, but it doesn't move anything.
for /f %%c in (c:\folders\*) do (move "%%c" "c:\ARCHIVE\" | findstr /vc:"^*[0-9][0-9]")

It works fine here. Apart from folder names, your code differs from my posted one. It should be:

Oops, typo. Of course it is -Exclude, not -Include.
- Make a test folder named c:\testdir and c:\targetdir
- Copy some folders to c:\testdir. Be sure to include a mix folders that do and don't end with 2 digits.
- Run the .bat in a cmd window
Open in new window
