Summary：When processing various personal data archiving in a folder, there will be a large number of files with different names that need to be categorized in the same folder based on the surname represented by the first Chinese character in the filename, making it easier to search and manage. If the number and format of the personal files are too mixed, moving them one by one into designated folders starting with the surname significantly reduces operational efficiency. Below is an introduction on how to batch categorize files based on the first Chinese character in the filename.
1、Usage Scenarios
Categorize the files according to the first Chinese character in the filename and store them in newly created folders named after the first Chinese character.
For example: Zhang San PPT.pptx, Li Si PPT.pptx, Wang Wu PPT.pptx
After categorizing the three files with different first Chinese characters, they will be saved in newly created folders named Zhang, Li, and Wang respectively.
