Yes, this is possible. To do that, you should read and understand opendir, glob, rename and File::Copy, maybe even File::Find... لսႽ† ᥲᥒ⚪⟊Ⴙᘓᖇ Ꮅᘓᖇ⎱ Ⴙᥲ𝇋ƙᘓᖇ	[reply]

perl script which search a sub folders And then you say... creates a folder called Batch1 which ... Do you want to read files or write them? Or do you want to do both? If so, the folders you are reading from - what do they look like? Also which OS ( just in case `find .` works for you )? Batch1 which has 250 files in there, then Batch2 which has 251 ... Batch1 contains 250 files and Batch2 has 251 files or do you want to store files 251 to 500 in it? Also see How do I post a question effectively?	[reply] [d/l]

All thanks for your responses and help. In regards to reading the file, i dont want that, i just want a count of files and sort them in to the folders until there are no more files left. Thanks B-man	[reply]

...sort them in to the folders... Sort by which criteria? Name? Contents? This is probably the main point that makes the question difficult to answer ... and maybe why some answers may seem rude or vague.	[reply]
