Can't take the time to provide tested working code, but CMD has some
features for extracting substrings built-in to variable expansion.
"SET /?" will give you a reference. You should be able to do
something like
FOR %%f IN (*CTY??.PDF) DO (
SET FILE=%%f
SET SERIAL=%FILE:~-2%
SET DIR=%SERIAL%Abbeville
IF NOT EXIST %DIR% MKDIR %DIR%
MOVE %FILE% %DIR%
)
Again, above is untested.
