Hello, everyone. I’m looking for a Windows program that can do the following. I haven’t found one yet.
I want to find a program that can move folders in a very specific way. I want it to move a specific number of folders in a source directory, to multiple destination directories—but evenly distribute them.
For example…let’s say I have a directory named D:\TRANSFERS. In it are 18 folders.
I also have 18 folders on my C drive, and they are named 1-18. C:\1, C:\2, etc.
I want each folder in D:\TRANSFERS moved into C:\1 through C:\18, but evenly.
I do not care if the folders are evenly distributed sequentially or in random order. What matters is that they are evenly distributed among the 18 destination folders.
When the 18 folders are successfully moved, I am going to populate D:\TRANSFERS with another 18 folders, and I want the process repeated. This move-populate-move process will take place many times.
Perhaps it is possible to do this with a Python script or something like that, but I have little interest in learning a computer program just for this one process. However, if such a script or program is already available and works according to my specifications, I’ll gladly take it.
So…does anyone know of any program that might be able to do this?
Here's a diagram that hopefully helps demonstrate what I'm trying to do. The folders won't really be named A-Q. I gave them those names just to make it a bit easier to show what I'm interested in doing.
Thank you very much! Jd
