dos script to find some files , create a folder in the same directory and move them in

Question

i want to create a dos script (.bat) to search on all sub folders and whenever it finds a file with the word MK11 in the file name it must create a folder named archive and move the file in it.

example:

c:\folder1\folder2\folderX\fileMK11.txt -> c:\folder1\folder2\folderX\archive\fileMK11.txt c:\folder1\folder3\fMK11ile.txt -> c:\folder1\folder3\archive\fMK11ile.txt

I tried to make the following script from examples i have seen but the problem is that it creates the folder "archive" in the directory where the script is instead of the directory where the file is found.

    setlocal ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION
    set /a c=0
    FOR /R %%i in (*MK11*) do (
    set /a c=c+1
    md archive
    move "%%i" archive
    )
    endlocal

I think this script will get you down the road. I echoed a COPY command rather than a MOVE command, but some of the hard part is done.

@echo off
SETLOCAL ENABLEEXTENSIONS ENABLEDELAYEDEXPANSION

SET TEMPFILE=%TEMP%\afinder_%RANDOM%_%RANDOM.tmp
DIR /S /B /A-D *MK11* >%TEMPFILE%
FOR /F "usebackq delims=" %%f IN (`type %TEMPFILE%`) DO (
    ECHO "%%f"
    FOR /F "delims=\ tokens=*" %%a IN ("%%f") DO (
        SET PNAME="%%~pa"
        ECHO PNAME is set to !PNAME!
    ECHO "!PNAME:~-9,7!"
        REM Check to see if this file is already in an Archive directory.
        IF "!PNAME:~-9,7!" == "Archive" (
            echo got one
        ) else (
            echo not one
            IF NOT EXIST "!PNAME!\Archive" (MKDIR "!PNAME!\Archive")
            echo COPY %%f "!PNAME!\Archive"
        )
    )
)
IF EXIST "%TEMPFILE%" (DEL "%TEMPFILE%")
EXIT /B 0
