AppleScript: Move contents of folder in user defined amount to folders? -


i'm new @ , while having managed created several basic scripts on last few weeks cannot seem wrap head around one:

  1. choose folder (with 1000 files)
  2. enter number of files per folder (say 100)
  3. the script creates 10 folders (1000 files / 100 in each folder)
  4. the script moves first 100 files sequentially the first folder - repeats till done.

the scripts i've put process point dismal, sloppy , outright pathetic dare not share them here.

my experiments have resulted in item listing causing issues moving files sequentially. instead of: valone_1.wav valone_2.wav valone_3.wav valone_4.wav valone_5.wav

i get: valone_1.wav valone_10.wav valone_100.wav valone_101.wav valone_102.wav

thanks

the finder has "sort" command can use avoid numbering problem mention. seems sort them way expect. using workflow becomes easy little clever coding. try following. need adjust first 2 variables in script suit needs , rest of script should work.

set filesperfolder 3 set newfolderbasename "storagefolder_"  set chosenfolder (choose folder) text  tell application "finder"     -- files chosen folder , sort them     set thefiles files of folder chosenfolder     set sortedfileslist sort thefiles name      set thecounter 1     repeat         -- calculate list of files move         -- remove files sortedfileslist         if (count of sortedfileslist) greater filesperfolder             set movelist items 1 thru filesperfolder of sortedfileslist             set sortedfileslist items (filesperfolder + 1) thru end of sortedfileslist         else             set movelist sortedfileslist             set sortedfileslist {}         end if          -- calculate new folder information , make         set newfoldername newfolderbasename & thecounter text         set newfolderpath chosenfolder & newfoldername         if not (exists folder newfolderpath)             make new folder @ folder chosenfolder properties {name:newfoldername}         end if          -- move movelist files         move movelist folder newfolderpath          if sortedfileslist {} exit repeat         set thecounter thecounter + 1     end repeat end tell
