Hi, I am looking for a script which moves file to the right folder based on
the name of the files.

Folders:

00000-00099_Vendor_Code
00100-00199_Vendor_Code
00200-00299_Vendor_Code
00300-00399_Vendor_Code
00400-00499_Vendor_Code
00500-00599_Vendor_Code
.....
12000-12099_Vendor_Code

Name of the files:
BE_00097_M3200W
BE_00158_M1370

So based on the number between BE_ and _M3200W the file should be moved to
the right folder, in this case to the folder (for the 1st example):
00000-00099_Vendor_Code

Hello

Maybe this one may do the trick

--[SCRIPT]

define here the sourceFolder

set sourceFolder to "xxxxxxxx:yyy:zzz:"

set mainFolder to (path to documents folder) as text

set destName to "Vendors_srodneV"

tell application "Finder"

if not (exists folder (mainFolder & destName)) then make new folder at folder mainFolder with properties {name:destName}

end tell

set destFolder to mainFolder & destName

set theFiles to "BE_00097_M3200W

BE_00158_M1370"

if theFiles contains return then

set delim to return

else

set delim to ASCII character 10

end if

set oldDelim to AppleScript's text item delimiters

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to delim

set FilesNames to text items of theFiles

set AppleScript's text item delimiters to oldDelim

repeat with tt in FilesNames

set tt to tt as text

set ff to ((text 4 thru 6 of tt) as text) & "000_" & ((text 4 thru 7 of tt) as text) & "_Vendor_Code"

-- Commented code because sourceFolder is not defined

tell application "Finder"

if not (exists folder destFolder & ff) then make new folder at folder destFolder with properties {name:ff}

move file (sourceFolder & tt) to folder destFolder & ff

end tell

log tt & "*,*" & ff

end repeat

--[/SCRIPT]
