Hi I have hundreds of files with the same names except the number in a folder,for example 2018test001.nd2, 2018test002.nd2, 2018test003.nd2,....2018test384.nd2. I want to move files with name containing 1,7,13,...1+6n to 1st new folder, and files with name containing 2,8,14,....2+6n to 2nd new folder,.....until files with name containing 6, 12,18,....6+6n to 6th new folder.
I have no clue how to perform it and hope to get some help. Thank you very much!

Well, neither do we until we start to think about the problem, deconstruct it into steps and think on how to solve each step. You usually don't inherently know how to solve a problem. You need to engage your brain.
In your case, clearly, you want to get the list of files, get the number at the end of file, divide that number by 6 and take the remainder, and move the file into the corresponding folder according to that remainder. Once you've written down the tasks like this, it's just a matter of writing the equivalent in code. It's going to be something like:
filebase = 'something';
fileextenstion = 'ext';
sourcefolder = 'c:\somewhere\somefolder';
destinationprefix = 'c:\somewhere\someotherfolder';
for fidx = 0:5
mkdir(sprintf('%s%d', destinationprefix, fidx)); %create destination folders
end
filelist = dir(fullfile(folder, sprintf('%s*.%s', filebase, fileextension))); %get list of files
filenumber = sscanf([filelist.name], sprintf('%s\%d.%s', filebase, fileextension)) %get the file numbers
foldernumber = mod(filenumber, 6);
for fidx = 1:numel(filelist)
movefile(fullfile(folder, file(fidx).name), fullfile(sprintf('%s%d', destinationprefix, foldernumber(idx)), file(fidx).name);
end

Give an example of the full filename. I don't know if the number is in the base filename, like abc6.dat, or if it's in the extension, like abc.6. Anyway, try using the function endsWith() to determine which files to copy, and movefile() to do the actual moving.

i would like to ask you somthing more in this case.
i have 18000 files named :
Tumble_1000RPM_WOT000000.T000.D000.P000.H000.L.vec
Tumble_1000RPM_WOT000001.T000.D000.P000.H000.L.vec
...........
Tumble_1000RPM_WOT017999.T000.D000.P000.H000.L.vec
i would like to seperate this files to 360 folders
in first forlder i would like to save the 1, 361, 721, 1081,1441,1801....
in second folder 2.362,722,1082,1442,1802...
in 360 folder the 360,720,1080,1440,1800...
and i use this code above....
clear all
clc
filebase = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\2D_TR_PIV_2020\Tumble_Plane_1000RPM_WOT';
fileextenstion = 'vec';
sourcefolder = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\2D_TR_PIV_2020\Tumble_Plane_1000RPM_WOT';
destinationprefix = 'C:\Users\user\Desktop\2D_TR_PIV_2020\Tumble_Plane_1000RPM_WOT\Tumble_Plane_1000RPM_WOT_results_320-2x';
for fidx = 0:360
mkdir(sprintf('%s%d', destinationprefix, fidx)); %create destination folders
end
filelist = dir(fullfile(sourcefolder, sprintf('%s*.%s', filebase, fileextenstion))); %get list of files
filenumber = sscanf([filelist.name], sprintf('%s\%d.%s', filebase, fileextenstion)); %get the file numbers
foldernumber = mod(filenumber, 360);
for fidx = 1:numel(filelist)
movefile(fullfile(folder, file(fidx).name), fullfile(sprintf('%s%d', destinationprefix, foldernumber(idx)), file(fidx).name));
end
but this isnt work.
Can you help me with this?
