Dear Mat,

The code below might do the job. Your file CreateDirectory and File.rename were wrong.

//Get the directory where the QA Images reside
  dir = getDirectory("Choose a Directory ");
  SaveDir = getDirectory("Choose a Sort Save Directory ");
 
//Create file list of the QA Images
        list = getFileList(dir);
        print("number of files in the Directory ="+ list.length);
       
//Look throug the list - Create RI, RD and what ever folder and move the files to
        for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
                        if (endsWith(list[i], "/")){
                                //listFiles(""+SubDirNames[0]+list[i]);
                        }else{
                        //Split the Name by "." and look at the first Entry
                                Data = split(list[i],".");
                       
                        // Make directory name
                                DirName = Data[0];
                               
                        //Ceate that directory
                                File.makeDirectory(SaveDir+File.separator+ DirName);

                                                 // Move the file to that Dir
                                File.rename(dir + list[i],SaveDir + DirName + File.separator + list[i]);
                                       
                                }
                }

Subject: How to use File.rename(path1,path2) to move files in same directory

Hi

I am working on a project that have large number of files in one directory (Images and other files all dicom).
The file names start with RI or RT or RP indicating image treatment and plan.  I want to extract the image files only to analyze them. So I wrote the following code to sort them into DIR's:

//Get the directory where the QA Images reside
  dir = getDirectory("Choose a Directory ");
  SaveDir = getDirectory("Choose a Sort Save Directory ");
 
//Create file list of the QA Images
        list = getFileList(dir);
        print("number of files in the Directory ="+ list.length);
       
//Look throug the list - Create RI, RD and what ever folder and move the files to
        for (i=0; i<list.length; i++) {
                        if (endsWith(list[i], "/")){
                                listFiles(""+SubDirNames[0]+list[i]);
                        }else{
                        //Split the Name by "." and look at the first Entry
                                Data = split(list[i],".");
                       
                        // Make directory name
                                DirName = Data[0];
                               
                        //Ceate that directory
                                CreateDirectory(SaveDir, DirName);

                                                 // Move the file to that Dir
                                File.rename(SaveDir + list[i],SaveDir + DirName + File.separator + list[i]);
                                       
                                }
                }


The directory gets created but the file does not get moved into the directory with the File.rename returning 1.
Do anyone know why?? Or what I am doing wrong??
