Move Files into Folders with Logic

Hi, sorry that I don't know regular expressions, but I am looking to move files into one exisiting folder if they contain a certain text string and to another existing folder if they contain a different text string. Is this possible please? I have read the manual but I don't know how to do it without script.

E.g.
If file name contains 'firstfolder' move to Folder 1
If file name contains 'secondfolder' move to Folder 2

Thus
AB123_firstfolder.jpg to Folder 1
CD123_secondfolder.jpg to Folder 2
CD123_firstfolder.jpg to Folder 1

Folder 1 and Folder 2 are Subfolders of the base folder.

Thanks

You will need to use a Script method to set item.newPath:

if (item.name.includes(dir = "firstfolder")) item.newPath = item.path + dir;
if (item.name.includes(dir = "secondfolder")) item.newPath = item.path + dir;

Thank you very much for your help. I'm sorry I'm a bit confused. Is this a rename script or a move batch script?

Also in the script do I need to change the top 'dir' after the '+' to 'First Folder' and the second 'dir' after the '+' to 'Second Folder'? The search string is slightly different to the folder name. In actual use, the folder names will be very different to search strings so I would like to specify them somewhere in each line.

Just use a normal Rename batch. The script does not have a return statement so files are not renamed.

if (item.name.includes(dir = "firstfolder")) item.newPath = item.path + dir;

The variable "dir" is set in the if statement ie "(dir = "firstfolder")"
so change "firstfolder" to whatever it needs to be.

The statement is equivalent to:
if (item.name.includes("firstfolder")) item.newPath = item.path + "firstfolder";

Excellent, that worked well thank you very much. I may be able to manage with the script as is and rename all the folders afterwards, but what I was initially aiming for was more like:

if (item.name.includes("firstfolder")) item.newPath = item.path + "Blue Images";

Ie, I was hoping to be able get the renamer to attach 'y' if search string is 'x'

If you want the file moved into a sub-folder named "Blue Images" then you have answered your own question!

Oh, thank you! I had no idea it was as simple to make the revision as that! It works just as I envisaged now! Thanks for all your help.
