Sort a list of files using Remainder after division

Hello everyone, (i am french so I hope I will be clear) I have hundreds of files numerated like in attachment. I would like to put the files number 1,5,9,13… in a folder named "slice1", 2,6,10,14, in "slice2" … another 3,7,11,15… "slice3" and finally one with 4,8,12,16,.. in "slice4' i.e. i want to make folders separated with their reminder after division per 4 : all with reminder=1 in slice1, all with r=2 "slice2', r=3 'slice3' and r=0 'slice4' I searched in a lot of website and i really don't know how to c;puts it for separating all this files in different folders like this. I would be very happy if you could help me !! best regards

Here is an outline of one way to do it (untested, but should get you started):

D = 'original folder';
S = dir(fullfile(D,'*MRDC*.*'));
[~,C] = cellfun(@fileparts,{S.name},'uni',0);
N = str2double(regexp(C,'\d+$','once','match'));
for k = 1:numel(S)
    F = sprintf('slice%d',mod(N(k)-1,4)+1);
    movefile(fullfile(D,S(k).name),fullfile(F,S(k).name))
end
