    Move to folder based on file name

    I have a task at work and I’m not sure how to do what I want to do. I mail merge tons of letters and must file them into respective folders.

    I can move files fine using

    Sub MOVEFILES()
    
        Dim strFolderA As String
        Dim strFolderB As String
        Dim strFile As String
        Dim Cnt As Long
        Dim test As String
        
        test = 9
        '//Change the path to the source folder, accordingly
        strFolderA = "C:\Users\dtrowbri\Desktop\Test2\"
        
        '//Change the path to the destination folder, accordingly
        strFolderB = "C:\Users\dtrowbri\Desktop\Test\"
        
        'If Right(strFolderA, 1) <> "\" Then strFolderA = strFolderA & "\"
        'If Right(strFolderB, 1) <> "\" Then strFolderB = strFolderB & "\"
        
        '//To filter for .xlsx files, change "*.*" to "*.xlsx"
        strFile = Dir(strFolderA & "*.*")
        
        Do While Len(strFile) > 0
            
            Cnt = Cnt + 1
            Name strFolderA & strFile As strFolderB & strFile
            strFile = Dir
        Loop
        
        MsgBox Cnt & " file(s) have been transfered to " & strFolderB, vbInformation
            
    End Sub
    Now here’s the juicy part.

    I have files named 2 ways

    AB_######_name.pdf ‘where ###### is unique and
    ABC_######_name.pdf ‘ where again ###### is unique


    Our folder system is like this:
    C:\AB_######_name\Correspondence\ ‘THIS IS THE TARGET FOLDER FOR THE LETTER or
    C:\ABC_######_name\Correspondence\ ‘THIS IS THE TARGET FOLDER FOR THE LETTER



    The ###### in the Folder Name would be correspond to the PDF filename.

    Now how do I go ahead and move the filename to the correct folders. Sometimes the correspondence folder is not created, so I have to create it manually.
