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. -- Ben ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~ ~ Finally, powerful endpoint security that ISN'T a resource hog! ~ ~ <http://www.sunbeltsoftware.com/Business/VIPRE-Enterprise/> ~
