Windows file sorting

[ShinGamix]

I have a question.

In windows 7/8 (I have both) I have a huge list of files that I want to sort into a few folders, any suggestions on how to do that easier that dragging and dropping each one??

Under Win7 you can start the command console (cmd in find) and use the old DOS commands move and copy/xcopy with wildcards for filenames.


That is very fast - if you know how those commands work.


(I don't know if cmd still exists under Win8)

It does ^^

They wouldn't remove cmd, it's used in windows itself, and a multitude of different programs. It's a very core part of the operating system, so it's not going anywhere (it's also in Win10!)

That depends. Is there some pattern in your filenames?
