Fuck Windows

Find filenames certain characters and move the file to it's folder

Why?

For instance, you have lots of files copied from the dash cam, the front lens file is named with the suffix "A", and the rear is "B".

Now try searching "A" using Windows 10's Explorer, it just simply tells you "no files"

Fuck windows.

How to

1. Copy path name from your explorer
2. Change the folder_path in the python script
3. Run it
4. Fuck Microsoft

import os

# Folders that contains the camcorder files.
folder_path = "W:/2024_0224" #2024_0224

suffixRearLens = "B"
