根据名称移动文件（额外复杂）

Question

I´ve seen a couple of topics showing how to move files based on their names. I have an extra issue with this matter. I have a bunch of video files, based on tv series with the
name of the series + season + episode number
For example: Breaking.Bad.s01e03
And my files are organized like:

d:\series\breaking bad\season01
d:\series\breaking bad\season02
d:\series\breaking bad\season03
...
etc

What i need is a script that checks for series name+season and moves them to it's corresponding folder. Is it possible?

thanks in advance

i got bored and decided to answer your question even tho you have ignored the "how to ask a good question" info ... [ frown ]

the OP needs this to be case-insensitive - and the .Replace() method is not. changed to use the -replace operator instead.

$FileName = 'Breaking.Bad.S01e03'

$Series = $FileName.Substring(0, $FileName.LastIndexOf('.')).Replace('.', '_')
# disabled the initial version since the OP now needs case-insensitive replacement
#$Season = $FileName.Split('.')[2].Split('e')[0].Replace('s', 'Season')
$Season = $FileName.Split('.')[2].Split('e')[0] -replace 's', 'Season'

$Series
$Season

output ...

Breaking_Bad
Season01

i will leave to you the process of building a path from the above AND how to move files. [ grin ] here's a pair of hints ...

Get-Help Join-Path
Get-Help Move-Item

the OP has changed the entire format of the files, so this is a version that works with that format. no other formats were given, so no other formats were coded for.

if there are other formats needed, and the OP is unable to code for them, please ask a new question.

# fake reading in filenames
#    in real life, use Get-ChildItem
$FileList = @(
    [System.IO.FileInfo]'Breaking.Bad.S01E01.DVDRip.XviD-ORPHEUS.avi'
    [System.IO.FileInfo]'Breaking.Bad.s02E01.DVDRip.XviD-ORPHEUS.avi'
    [System.IO.FileInfo]'Breaking.Bad.S03e01.DVDRip.XviD-ORPHEUS.avi'
    [System.IO.FileInfo]'Breaking.Bad.s04e01.DVDRip.XviD-ORPHEUS.avi'
    )

foreach ($FL_Item in $FileList)
    {
    $SeriesName = ($FL_Item.BaseName -split '\.s\d')[0].Replace('.', '_')
    $SE_Info = $FL_Item.BaseName.Split('.')[-3] -split 'e'

    $Season = $SE_Info[0] -replace 's', 'Season'
    $Episode = 'Episode{0}' -f $SE_Info[1]

    $SeriesName
    $Season
    $Episode
    ''
    }

output ...

Breaking_Bad
Season01
Episode01

Breaking_Bad
Season02
Episode01

Breaking_Bad
Season03
Episode01

Breaking_Bad
Season04
Episode01

again, i will refer you to Join-Path , New-Item, and Move-Item for creating the destination paths and moving the files.
