Re: Move n files sort by Filename

You're entirely correct: It is not VB Script. However, it is not DOS
either
but a batch file.

A "batch" file in what language? A powershell
file? An updated DOS that still uses .bat extension?

Frankly I don't care what it is. It's not VBScript
and this is a VBScript group. I have a lot of experience
with VBScript, I'm here in the VBS group,
and I only vaguely understand the code you posted.
I have no idea what file extension it should have, or
what dependencies it has. And if I look up your code
in the WSH Scripting help file I don't see it. If I save
it in a .vbs file and run it it doesn't work.

Yet you posted it here with no explanation.

I don't understand why you feel a need to
systematically post in the wrong group. But
more than that, I don't understand why you
don't at least explain what you're posting.
Bals appears to be a new scripter. Imagine
if you were new to C++, asked a question in
a C++ group, and got a code sample in Java with
no explanation. Don't you think that might be
awfully confusing and time-wasting for you?

How can you think that your DOS-esque batch
code is more relevant in a VBS group than, say,
javascript or perl? (At least those languages are
well suited to *Windows* scripting. But they're
still completely OT.)

If you'd at least explain it clearly then I wouldn't
have to, and then you won't need to get annoyed
that I call it DOS. I'm just asking that you have some
regard for what the OP actually needs.
(Sticking to on-topic responses would be very nice,
too, but that's probably asking too much. You seem
oddly intent on selling DOS-esque to anyone and
everyone, without regard to common courtesies or
newsgroup rules.)
