When faced with a large number of complex file naming or multi-type files, using regular expressions for custom classification is an efficient management method, which can quickly filter the date, number and other patterns in the file name and classify the files by time. When cleaning up unnecessary files, regular matching can quickly locate useless files to facilitate cleaning. In project management, regular expressions can also efficiently retrieve target files according to keywords in file names. Regular expressions can also help unify classification and renaming when the source of files is diverse and the naming is not uniform. Through this classification method, file management becomes more flexible and efficient. The following describes how to use regular expressions to distinguish letters, numbers, or characters in file names to classify files in batches. Multiple file formats such as Word, Excel, PDF, and JPG are supported.
