phillyman2004 Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Ok this is my problem , I have around 7000 files sorted into around 400 folders , i need to extract all the files from all 400 folders into a Folder of my choice , The only way i know how to do this right now is ......1. Use WinRar and Rar all the folders into 1 Rar File2. Extract all the files but Check the Do Not Extract Full Path Names Option3. Then rescan all my files into there correct foldersI do this action everytime a new version of the files comes out , Does anyone know of a program or a Dos command that can just move all the files from within folders ....into 1 folder ???Thanks AlotRob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oftentired Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Why not use windows backup? It is on the XP Cd. Just install it and then create a backup that performs the task you need. Don't use compression and don't save the tree structure. Should work just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaclaz Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Could you post some more info on the files, i.e. structure of directories/subdirectories, extensions of files, attributes of files?Most probably the most efficient solution is to use a small batch file to generate a "listfile" to be feeded to WINRAR.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eeark Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 for /R %T in (*.*) do copy %T foldernameor something similar - look at the help for the for command and also for the copy command. The /R switch tells the for command to walk the directory tree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spyder2k Posted September 2, 2004 Share Posted September 2, 2004 Just a tip; WinRAR does support the use of command line parameters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
