short code in R
Budget: $10 – $30 CAD
#Task; Organize files into folders based on prefix. In R.
Folder has a lot of files. Groups of these files have the same prefix separated by underscore '_', a number, then another underscore, then the extention.
(for example 'AAA_123_456.csv')
In R,
1. identify the unique prefixes (only the first portion before the first underscore),
2. create folders based on each unique prefixes
example:
/AAA
/BBB
/CCC
etc
3. Move all the files from folder X into the folder that matches their prefix.
AAA_123_456.csv moved to /AAA
AAA_789_101.csv moved to /AAA
AAB_123_738.csv moved to /AAB
etc.
It must be coded in R. Expect about 5 to 10 lines. Base R or common packages only.
