I have a folder with massive number of files, i need to make some folders and put them in to that folders (below 50 of each), Folder names can be any thing. I thought folder name to be numbers( 1,2,3.. etc )
here what i done, but doesn't work
Set fso=CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
inputFldr =".\myFolder"
Set fldr=fso.getFolder(inputFldr)
dim i
i=0
fName = 0
for each file in fldr.files
i = i+1
If Not fso.FolderExists(fName) Then fso.CreateFolder(fName)
fso.MoveFile file, fName
if i>50 then
fName = fName + 1
i = 0
end if
next
wscript.echo done
Try this:
Dim i, fName, inputFldr, TmpFdr
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
inputFldr = Replace(wscript.scriptfullname,wscript.scriptname,"myFolder")
Set fldr = fso.getFolder(inputFldr)
i = 0
fName = 0
wscript.echo "Input Folder: " & fldr.path
For Each file In fldr.Files
i = i + 1
TmpFdr = inputFldr & "\" & fName & "\"
if Not fso.FolderExists(TmpFdr) Then fso.CreateFolder (TmpFdr)
file.move TmpFdr
If i > 50 Then
fName = fName + 1
i = 0
End If
Next
set fldr=nothing
set fso=nothing

I have written a script to check that 4 files exist in a folder. I need to use the below error handling for this particular small piece of code.
This code checks various folders to see if it contains 4 files. If it does then good if it doesn't then its not good.
Code:
Const intOK = 0
Const intCritical = 2
Const intError = 3
Const ForReading=1,ForWriting=2,ForAppending=8
Dim filename,filenamemov,emailaddr
Dim arrFolders(17)
Dim argcountcommand,dteToday
Dim arg(4)
Dim strMailServer,Verbose,strExt,numfiles,intIndex
Dim intcount : intCount = 0
Dim stroutput
numfiles = 4 'how many minutes old are the files
Verbose = 0 '1 FOR DEBUG MODE, 0 FOR SILENT MODE
arrFolders(0) = "D:\AS2\Inbound\WESSEX"
arrFolders(1) = "D:\AS2\Inbound\EATWELL"
arrFolders(2) = "D:\AS2\Inbound\TURNER\"
For intIndex = 0 To UBound(arrFolders)
pt "Checking folder: " & arrFolders(intIndex)
If arrFolders(intIndex) = "" Then
pt "Empty folder value!"
Exit For
Else
Call checkfiles(arrFolders(intIndex))
End If
Next
If objFolder.Files.Count < 4 Then
WScript.Echo "CRITICAL - " & intCount & " File(s) over " & numfiles & "
minutes in " & stroutput
WScript.Quit(intCritical)
Else
WScript.Echo "OK - No directory contains less than 4 files"
WScript.Quit(intOK)
End If
Sub checkfiles(folderspec)
'check If any files exist on folder
On Error Resume Next
Dim objFso : Set objFso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'you can take this as input too using InputBox
'this will error If less than 4 files exist.
Dim objFolder : Set objFolder = objFso.GetFolder(strFolderPath)
If objfolder.Files.Count = 4 Then
MsgBox "This is Correct"
Else
MsgBox "This isnt Correct"
End If
Sub pt(txt)
If Verbose = 1 Then
WScript.Echo txt
End If
End Sub
If i understand your question, you want to
check a set of folders kept in an array for the number of files they contain
if any of the folders has less than 4 files, an error message should be displayed
the folder array CAN contain empty values and the routine should skip those
Apparently you have more plans considering all 'extra' variables you have in your code like Const ForReading=1,ForWriting=2,ForAppending=8 and Dim filename,filenamemov,emailaddr, but I left them out here, because they have nothing to do with the question at hand.

I'm trying to create a vbscript that moves files from one directory to another, that increments the filename if the file allready exists. I.e. if file.ext exists, new filename is file_01.ext. If file_01.ext exists, new filename is file_02.ext, and so on. I can't get it to work. Any help would be very much appreciated.

As I can't understand your script at all, I'll concentrate on the the task "build a new file name by incrementing a counter". Obviously you have to check for each file whether there is a file with the same name or this name + suffix in the destination folder. The answer to this question for file a is completely independent of all files in the source folder - so I doubt your array makes any sense.
In code:
Const cnMax = 3
Dim goFS : Set goFS = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Dim oSrcDir : Set oSrcDir = goFS.GetFolder("..\testdata\FancyRename\from")
Dim sDstDir : sDstDir = "..\testdata\FancyRename\to"
Dim oFile, nInc, sNFSpec
For Each oFile In oSrcDir.Files
WScript.Echo "looking at", oFile.Name
nInc = 0
sNFSpec = getNewFSpec(oFile.Name, sDstDir, nInc)
Do While goFS.FileExists(sNFSpec) And nInc <= cnMax
sNFSpec = getNewFSpec(oFile.Name, sDstDir, nInc)
Loop
If nInc > cnMax Then
WScript.Echo "won't copy to", sNFSpec
Else
WScript.Echo "will copy to ", sNFSpec
oFile.Copy sNFSpec
End If
Next
Function getNewFSpec(ByVal sFName, sDstDir, ByRef nInc)
If 0 < nInc Then
Dim sSfx
sSfx = goFS.GetExtensionName(sFName)
If "" <> sSfx Then sSfx = "." & sSfx
sSfx = "_" & Right("00" & nInc, 2) & sSfx
sFName = goFS.GetBaseName(sFName) & sSfx
End If
nInc = nInc + 1
getNewFSpec = goFS.BuildPath(sDstDir, sFName)
End Function

I currently have a VBscript that scans a folder for files and moves the files to particular folders depending on key words in the file name.
I need currently the script only scans the one level (ie. doesn't scan recursively) and I need to to search all sub folders too.
Can someone give me a hand with this?
EDIT: Since writing this script I have realized that I need to have this only move files with particular extensions from a particular folder and sub folders to other directories based on the file name.
For example I need only .mp4 and .avi files to be moved.
Can someone help me with this please? I have tried multiple things but still can't get the recursive scanning and moving or the extension specific moving working.
Below is my current script.
