RoboTask forum

I just downloaded the trial of Robotask and have been reading the forum
to figure out if this program will do what I want it to do:

I have a folder with 5000 files with the same extension. I want
RoboTask to grab the first 10 and move them into a subdirectory that it
creates - 0001. Then it needs to grab the next 10 files and move it
into 0002 folder, etc until all the files in the directory are in
subdirectories with 10 files in each.

Is this possible? If so, I'm sold!

Yes, of course. See example below. This task move all files from "c:\source" folder into particular subfolders in "c:\dest" folder (by 10 files in each subfolder). If you want to use folder names in 000N format you should use "Evaluate" action (from BASIC plugin).
Save text of task into file and use menu "Task | Import" to inport into RoboTask.
