## Options

* Sort in source folder - Use Source folder for instead of Target folder

* Create new folders - Create new folders with the group name

* Strict mode - The name of the folder must exactly match the name of the group

## How to use

1. Open [regex101](https://regex101.com/), select C# flavor and substitution function

2. Create pattern and replacement what works for you

3. Select **Source** and **Target** folder

4. Click **Sort** to see preview

5. Click **Move** to move files to target folders

### Example

![Example](./assets/ExampleRegex.png)

This pattern matches first word before `_` and `$1` gets replaced with it.  

Then all matched files grouped by result and sorted to folders in **Target** folder.
