A tiny package that can help you save a lot of precious time.

Have you ever encountered any situation when you are stuck with hundreds of files having names like FILE1, FILE2, FILE3 and so on. And the story doesn't end here. Now you have to arrange those files into different folders too. Sounds like an interesting task. Right 😁.

Well, if doing that task manually sounds like an awesome job. Then, I am sorry to say this tool is not for you 😔.

This tool will help you complete the task of hours or even days within seconds. Well, it's not a ninja technique. It's the power of code.

Enough with the introduction. Let's see how this tool works....

Demo

Titles Source: The Ultimate Git Mastery Course

Prerequisites

Let's do the preparation before seeing the actual magic

• First thing first and very important- Take backup of your files
• Make sure that the parent folder only contains two types of files - A titles.txt (pay attention to the naming convention) and files that needs to be modified
• Make sure that the titles.txt file contains the filea and directories name in the order that you want to arrange them
• Make sure that the files are as per the sequence in titles files
• Make sure node.js is installed in your system

titles.txt file structure should be as follows:

Directory name should start with an capital Alphabet.

For Ex: A. Directory Name 1

File names should start in the format in which you prefer to sequence your files in the directory

For Ex: 1. File Name1 or i. File Name2 etc.
