I have hundreds of Word documents that need to be placed into their own folders. These documents are usually named "FirstName LastName-ParentFirstName ParentLastName-etc", or "FirstName LastName-ParentFirstName ParentLastName etc", or mostly "FirstName LastName-etc" and "FirstName LastName etc", the differences being the hyphen or whitespace. I can manually separate them into different folders so that each folder contains the same naming scheme, to make the automation easier.
But how do I create an automator workflow (or something else entirely) to automatically create folders that are named "LastName FirstName-ParentLastName ParentFirstName", then populate the folder with the appropriate document? Is this even possible? If it isn't, are there shortcuts to doing it manually? Thanks!
