Hello everybody! I have a simple problem to solve: I have 100 folders and each folder contains around 2000 files, called v1,v2,v3...and the names are the same for every folder. How can I extract specific files (e.g v2-v10) in every folder and organize them such that all the v1 are in one new folder and the v2 in a second folder? Thank you

You can use the outline in that to loop over directories. And then inside any one directory you can match the file names to find the ones of interest and handling them.

See my attached demo where I recurse into all subfolders of a folder and list the files. You could then do anything you want with each file. It will be easy for you to adapt this to your specific folder names.
