Nice batch example above. &nbsp;I asked about PowerShell as you can use StartsWith there as you are looping through the folders, so meant to post this: <a href="https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692804.aspx" rel="ugc">https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee692804.aspx</a>

hello! Thanks in advance for anyone out there able to help.<br />
<br />
I have several hard drives, and would like to segregate folders AND files alphabetically based on the folder name. the way I've set up the disks as follows:<br />
<br />
disk0 - A-R = files need to be located in d:\files\folder-A-R<br />
disk1 - S-Z = files need to be locate in z:\folderS-Z<br />
<br />
I would like the batch file to determine based on the folder name which drive to move to, and move to the appropriate path.

Storage devices include any device used for storing and retrieving digital information. Hard disk drives (HDDs) use one or more rigid ("hard") rapidly rotating disks (platters) coated with magnetic material. Data is accessed in a random-access manner, meaning that individual blocks of data can be stored or retrieved in any order and not only sequentially. The primary competing technology for secondary storage is flash memory in the form of solid-state drives (SSDs), but HDDs remain the dominant medium for secondary storage due to advantages in price per bit and per-device recording capacity. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format that allows information to be stored outside the mechanical HDD.
