Is there a tool or script to 'read' tags in .md files and duplicate to a new folder?

Hi, just a really idle pondering right now - but is there a tool / script that will 'read' a folder of markdown / files, identify those that contain a #tag (or, ideally, a number of tags in an AND search) and duplicate to a new folder?

    Oh yes. The Archive can do this. Enter the tag or tags or any desired search criteria in the Omni Bar and select all the notes in the Note List (⌘ A) then right-click on the selection and select "Reveal in Finder". Once in finder, under File select, New Folder with Selection (⌃⌘ N) and a new folder with copies of the notes will be created.

    My zettelkasten is for my ideas, not the ideas of others. I don’t want to waste my time tinkering with my ZK; I’d rather dive into the work itself. My peak cognition is behind me. One day soon, I will read my last book, write my last note, eat my last meal, and kiss my sweetie for the last time.

    Oh, that's neat. And an easy solution! Thanks Will!
