Summary：In file management and archiving, classifying files by a custom range of characters is an efficient way to organize. When the number of files is large and naming is complex, classifying by the range of characters can quickly filter out specific files. For example, if the middle of the file name contains the content we need, we can select that segment of characters and move files with those characters into the corresponding folder. Below is an introduction on how to move a large number of files by selecting a custom range in the file name to move the files we need into the corresponding folder, supporting various file formats like Word, Excel, PDF, JPG, etc.
1、Usage Scenarios
When we have hundreds of files mixed together, with the beginning of the file name as the date and the end as the name, and we need to place files with the content in the middle of the file name into the same folder, we can select any range of characters to classify files into a new folder, significantly improving management efficiency.
