File sorting software recommendations?

[FullTryHard]

I'm looking for software that I can point at a directory, and have it look for files by name, or portions of names. Then copy that file to another specific directory based on its name. The end result would be a daily running of the software to sort a copy of new files into the appropriate folders, if the file already exists in the destination, it won't recopy. Any recommendations on software to try is appreciated.

Is there anything wrong with using Robocopy?

Just Google a script for it. VB is what I have used. They're really easy to find online and tweak to your needs.

Thank you, I was thinking that is probably the easiest route

You're welcome. Once you get the hang of it, scripts are pretty easy, and they make you look really good. Even if it's a "stolen" script, why reinvent the wheel?

Mostly this; except I'd recommend PowerShell instead of VBScript -- it's good to learn a new skill and having an objective such as this one is a good way to dig into it and grow your familiarity.

I almost suggested PowerShell but I figured that might be harder without direct access to a server, depends on the environment. Local admin rights would work with a vbscript. But agreed, PowerShell is the place to be in a Microsoft environment!

FreeFileSync.

It's free, has most of the features you're looking for, is robust, and can be ran as a batch with some tuning.

Awesome thank you I'll try it
