Exercise 2: Sorting by file name pattern

Instruction

Duplicate the flow you created in exercise 1 and change the sorting method; instead of sorting based on file type, now the input should be sorted on file name pattern:

If the file name contains Part1 (e.g. JobsPart1.pdf or Part1_jobs.pdf), it should be moved to the PDFs folder.
All other files should be moved to a folder named All other files.

Note: This type of flows can be useful when receiving files from a Web to Print system, or for any workflow where the file name can contain file name patterns to identify job type, color model or other characteristics that are important to your workflow.
