folder-splitter

Library to split a folder in two, moving selected files/folders to a new folder.

Overview

This library is a simple utility intended to be used as a folder splitter, the same way Picasa used to allow a "Split folder here" command. Given a folder, you want to choose a bunch of items into this folder and move them to a new one. The items you want to move are probably selected in a previous step, where you sorted items (for example, by date) The main goal I pursue is to split a folder starting at a date and move the items to a new event folder

The code is plain C#. It is developed using .NET Core 2.0

Build

To build, please install .Net Core SDK version 2.0 Clone the repo and then move to the folder. Type:

dotnet build

to check its functionality, move to the test project folder and run XUnit:

cd tests\SplitFolderUnitTests
dotnet xunit

Examples

Please see the unit tests to learne its usage.

var newFolder = FolderSplitter.Split(originalFolderPath, newFolderName, items);

Parameters are:

• the full path of the folder you want to split.
• the new folder name (it will created besides your original folder).
• a list of names of the files/folders you intend to move.
