- Run the script.
The script walks through the source folder and its subdirectories, searching for files that contain the specified keyword in their filename. When a matching file is found, it is moved to the target folder using shutil.move(). The script also prints a message indicating the file that was moved and the target folder it was moved to.
Note: The script assumes that the source folder and target folder paths are valid and accessible.
Feel free to modify this script according to your specific requirements or incorporate it into your own projects.
