Fix moving files into year folder if exist a matching in .txt file

I have files like this

Taxi driver.torrent
Tabu - Gohatto.txt
Troll 2 (1990)..zip


Inside my filelist.txt file I have files named like so

Troll 2 (1990) [BDrip 1080p - H264 - Ita Ac3] Horror, Commedia
Troll 2 (1990) [XviD - Ita Mp3]
Taxi Driver (1976) Mastered..
Tabù - Gohatto (N. Oshima, 1999)


I have just folders like

1976
1990
1999


I want to move files into correct year folder in this way

1976
|__ Taxi driver.torrent

1990
|__ Troll 2 (1990)..zip

1999
|__ Tabu - Gohatto.txt


I use this path, folders

C:Path
Test4.txt
script_powershell.ps1


I actually test with powershell 5 to move

$movies = @()
(get-content C:PathTest4.txt) | foreach($_)
$properties = @
date = $_.substring($_.IndexOf("(")+1,4)
name = $_.substring(0,$_.IndexOf("("))

write-host $date
write-host $name

$movies += New-Object PSObject -Property $properties


$torrentFiles = dir $torrentPath

foreach($movie in $movies)
$datePath = "C:Path$($movie.date)"
if(-not(test-path $datePath))
new-item $datePath -ItemType "directory"

$words = ($movie.name -split 's')


EDIT:

This poweshell has many problems. For examples

Caccia al delitto


is moved in 1990 folder...but..Caccia al delitto is 1986..
Inside file text I have

Caccia a Ottobre Rosso (1990) [DivX - Ita Mp3] Guerra [CURA] Russia
Caccia a Ottobre Rosso (1990) [VP9 - Ita Eng Opus] Thriller


I have not a text string for Caccia al delitto (I remove it for test)

$movies = @()
$movieLocation = 'C:Path'
$torrentPath = '.'

(get-content "$movieLocationTest4.txt") | foreach($_)

# Check for braces.
if (-not($_ -match ".*(.*).*")) return

$properties = @
date = ($_ -replace ".+?(.*?(d4).*?).*", '$1')
name = $_.substring(0, $_.IndexOf("(")).Trim()


# Add items that have a 4 digit date.
if ($properties.date -match "^d4$")
'Name: "' + $properties.name + '" Date: "' + $properties.date + '"'

$movies += New-Object PSObject -Property $properties



$torrentFiles = dir $torrentPath

foreach ($movie in $movies)
$datePath = "$movieLocation$($movie.date)"

if (-not(test-path "$datePath"))
new-item "$datePath" -ItemType "directory"


foreach ($torrentFile in $torrentFiles)
# Get percentage based on length.
$pc = [int]($movie.name.length / $torrentFile.basename.length * 100)

# Only between 80% and 100% in length.
if ($pc -gt 100) continue
if ($pc -lt 80) continue

if ($torrentFile.basename -match $movie.name)
# Items that match.
'Torrent: 0,-40 Date: 1,-5 Match: 2' -f $torrentFile.basename, $movie.date, $movie.name

if (-not(test-path "$datePath$torrentfile"))
Move-Item -LiteralPath "$torrentPath$torrentfile" -Destination "$datePath"






A modest fix with the date using regex.
The name required a trim to remove trailing space.
I added a test-path before move-item in case the file is not found.

date

name

test-path

move-item

Long time since last used Powershell so could be perhaps improved more.
I tested in path . so hope C:Path works just as well.
