Moving files based on six digit numbers pattern

Postby smartcard » Fri Dec 29, 2023 10:21 pm

I'm seeking guidance on moving files that start with the pattern 'R-(six-digit numbers).*' to a distinct folder. Could you please provide instructions on how to accomplish this?

R-001057.jpg = move to new folder
R-000058.jpg = move to new folder

R-000058b.jpg = Don't move
R-753.jpg = Don't move
R-1054.jpg = Don't move
ABR-1055.jpg = Don't move

List files like R-6Digits.jpg

With Filters(12) having a checkmark for "RegEx", can use ^R-\d{6}\.jpg$ inside for the "Mask".
Then to click the blue-arrows besides "Mask", so the file-listing will present only those names.
Then Copy/Move(13) can only move the filenames like your description.
