Auto filtering files by file name and moving them to a specific folder

I've got a directory filled with files. Each file name has a description, and then the clients name.

 

Example: "Brochure (John Smith).pdf" Let's say this directory has a couple hundred of these with different client names.

 

I would like these to be automatically filtered, for example:

 

       If file name contains "John Smith"

       Move file to D:\Clients\Smith, John\

 

       If the file name contains "Russel Coight"

       Move file to D:\Clients\Coight, Russel\

 

I can do this with an application called RoboBasket, but the problem is, I have to add every single rule manually, with each name and destination (per client).

 

Is there an application that anyone knows of that can do this in bulk?

 

A quick response would be much appreciated, thanks!
