IDEA: Program to create subfolders and move files for list of shows BY name.
skwire:
is there any way to just take the name till you get to the first "-" and ignore the rest? Would seem to be easier to do that.-famewolf (June 18, 2009, 11:23 PM)

Keep in mind that that logic won't work for one of your examples: A-Team

I got that, but - ( is perfectly acceptable

I'm still looking at this but I need a bit more info on what it is you're trying to do
From what you've said so far it sounds like you're -
* downloading TV shows (as a set of files)
* Converting each set of files to a corresponding AVI file
* Moving the final (AVI) file to an appropriately named subfolder
* deleting the original sets of files (?)
the last step (above) is an assumption on my part.
is this a fair précis of what you're doing?

Your exactly onto what I'm doing. The shows record in beyondtv as .tp files and as you saw, some have the episode name in parenthesis while older shows only have the name. Beyondtv has a task that converts the .tp file to a .avi file and for me that runs from 12 midnight to 8am on any shows recorded that day or leftover from previous days. There may still be an .avi.chapters or something similar which is where the commercials have been marked for skipping when playing back. The safest bet I would assume is to run the move job about 8:05am and have it only look at .avi files and their support files...skipping the .tp ones. This, for me would get around the "file is being written to" issues....not sure how other beyondtv users would like it but in the end I'm the one requesting it and your the one being nice enough to code it..they can be happy with what they get just like I can. :)
Did I answer all the questions?
