A quick node script I used to re-organize some documents in the way I wanted them before uploading them to Google Drive

file-organizer-node.js

const testFolder = './'; // to be run in the directory with all files we are looking to move
const fs = require('fs');

fs.readdirSync(testFolder).forEach((file) => {
  const regex = /SL([0-9]*) Unit([0-9]*) ([0-9\.]*)/; // eg "SL001 Unit403 2005.11.30.pdf"
  const test = regex.exec(file);
  if (test) {
    const sl = test[1]; // First matching group
    const unit = test[2]; // Second matching group
    const date = test[3];
    const dateHyphen = date.split('.').join('-').slice(0, -1);

    // Dirname "403 - SL001/Assignment Forms"
    const foldername = `${unit} - SL${sl}/Assignment Forms`;

    // Filename "403 - SL001/Assignment Forms/Assignment Form 2005-11-30"
    const filename = `${foldername}/Assignment Form ${dateHyphen}`;

    // Uncomment to run, make sure to test first!
    // fs.mkdirSync(foldername, { recursive: true });
    // fs.renameSync(file, filename);
    console.log(filename);
  }
});

Yeah, it's ugly ... but it works (and it's better than manually creating every folder and drag/dropping :puke:
