I am trying to merge files that are nested in different folders by their file names. For example folder 1 contains up to 100 subfolders that each contain a set of shapefiles: subfolder1_A.shp, subfolder1_B.shp, subfolder1_C.shp, etc.
I want to merge shapefiles from each subfolder with the same file name ending (e.g. merge subfolder1_A, subfolder2_A, subfolder3_A, ..., subfolder100_A), so the final output is a series of merged shapefiles with the same file name ending (A, B, C, etc.). So for example, A_merged.shp, B_merged.shp, C_merged.shp, etc.
I am not familiar with python, and would prefer to do this using model builder. I have tried using iterate feature class and merge tools, but not sure how to make this work like I want. Possibly using inline substitution or the iterator wildcard somehow?
Any idea what I should do?
