Alright, well i have 421 files that need to be moved into 421 Folders. Each file needs to be added to the correct folder, i got the files in an order where they are in the same position as the folders, but in separate dir.


[File] [Folder]
| |
2056.htm 1. Lazer
3045.htm 2. Ecell
1034.htm 3. Ucell

Now what ive been doing, is Drag and Dropping each file to the adjacent folder, for example.

2056.htm ------Drag And Droped Into------ 1. Lazer

Which isnt a very productive way of doing this...too time consuming..
specially sense i gotta do it 421 times, not to mention i got another 18,000 files that i have to transfer the same way...

So my question is, is there a way to transfer 421 files top to bottom, into 421 folders top to bottom?

Not with native Windows/DOS commands, but if you're creative and are using a good text editor, you can probably create a batch file to do it.

A good text editor with macro capabilities will simplify creation of the the batch file.

Good luck.
