Copy files from many folders to one folder

[redfive19]

Hi guys,

I know that Robocopy and Xcopy can recursively search for file masks (*.jpg) and copy them to another folder but they keep the directory structure. Is there any script that anyone knows of that does this with just copying the files to one folder sans folder structure? Example: All .jpg's from C:\folderswithpics\folder1 to c:\pictures Thanks!!!

You can do this in AutoIt with _FileListToArray() or FileFindFirstFile()/FileFindNextFile(), and FileCopy().

Hi!

You can do a little batch, like this:

FOR /F "tokens=*" %%i in ('dir C:\sourceroot /AD /s /b') DO XCOPY "%%i\*.jpg" C:\destdoss /Y

Where:

source-root-folder is C:\sourceroot

destination folder is C:\destdoss

pattern files is *.jpg

If you use the command directly (without Batch), replace all %% by %

.

You can use also SHFileOperation API for that.

But what to do in case of the same file names in subfolders?
