Is there a way to batch move one sub folder into another for over 200 folders?
I have a root folder C:\Users\username\Desktop\
The folder structure is like this:
----------
What I need to do is move each "[Revision name] Folder" into it's corresponding "Art files" folder. I would love to be able to do this with some sort of batch processing. Also, if it's possible to make the process work on more than one directory (which will also be on my desktop), that would be awesome.
Any help would be immensely appreciated!
The folder structure is like this:
+---40-1234-24
| \---40-1234-24G
| +---40-1234-24G Folder
| | +---Document fonts
| | \---Links
| \---Art files
+---PC-5678-24
| \---PC-5678-24J
| +---Art files
| \---PC-5678-24J Folder
| +---Document fonts
| \---Links

Firstly, do I have your folder structure correct? 
If so, then this powershell script should work. Remove the -whatIf parameter after you've confirmed the results are as desired.

$startingFolder = 'F:\test'
$folderStructure = dir $startingFolder -Recurse
foreach ($folder in $folderStructure | where {$_.Attributes -eq 'Directory' -and $_.name -like '* Folder'}) {
$parent = $folder.Parent
$target = "$($parent.FullName)\Art Files"
if (Test-Path $target) {
write-host "Attempting to move $($folder.FullName) to $target"
Move-Item -Path $folder.FullName -Destination $target -WhatIf
}
}
