Searching and Moving File Question

I'll do my best to explain my use case.

I have a spreadsheet (CSV) with a column of file names. I want to search for all of those file names, take the results, and copy the files to a new DRIVE/FOLDER. I know I can search for the files using Everything, but I am not sure if it is possible to move/copy the files, and if it can all be run from the command line...

Please try the Advanced Move from Edit -> Advanced -> Advanced Move to folder.

Set the Old format to:
%1:%2

Set the New format to:
F:%2

where F: is the new drive.



There's no command line interface for the Advanced Move.

You can start the Advanced Move GUI from the command with the following call:
Everything.exe -moveto
(drag-drop files to move)
