Moving files

[vermilderstaff]

I have a lot of files all in different  folders and i want to put them into one single directory. i was wondering if there is any faster way of doing it then to just cut and paste the file outside the directory. like maybe a dos command or a program.\

Thanks

Do these files all have a common extension such as .doc ?

Yes Mp3

Go Start>Search
In search field put:
*.mp3
(make sure, you are searching your entire C drive)
All mp3 files will be displayed. Left click on first file, push SHIFT, hold it, and left click on last file. All files will be selected (highlighted). Release SHIFT.
Right click on any of those files, and click Copy (or Cut, if you don't want to leave files in old location), then in Windows Explorer navigate to directory where you want to put those files.
Right click on directory name, and click Paste.
Done.

here's  a simple batch. run it from c:\>

Code: [Select]

@echo off
For /F %%a In ('dir /b /a-d /s *.mp3') do (
 echo %%a
 copy %%a c:\destination 
)
