Hey guys, im a starting out newbie, mainly from need not nesscarily passion, but the rewards of this seem endless so who knows maybe i'll get into it.

Regardless i took a super tiny bit of Visual Basic in school and am having a hard time remembering a darn thing. Regardless i wanted to make a script that would do the following and below i'll show you what i came up with so far.

1) Should run automatically in any directory its ran in so its default working path is the directory and drive its run from.
2) Should create a directory from file names in that directory. However it will only look at the first portion of the filename up to a - entry. (used primarily in mp3 files)
3) Should copy files into the directory that it just used to create them.
4) Should then delete the files that were copied into their respective directory.

i know there was more i had to do, about defining the variables or something, im doing some more research at vbexplorer.com but i figured i could get some hints from you guys that might steer me in the right direction.

Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim madedir
Dim filefound
If filefound = "*.mp3" Then
MkDir filefound
FileCopy "filefound", "madedir"
Kill "filefound"

End Sub

There are examples of pretty much all the things that you want to do in these fora. I would suggest reading the Read Me First post that is pinned at the top of this forum. That will give you some basic information. Next I would suggest writing out exactly what you want to accomplish as a step by step procedure. Once you have that algorithm created, we can suggest search terms that will let you find examples of doing all the pieces of your algorithm.
