Folder questions

How can I get all files OUT of many folders at once? Without having to copy paste or cut them out of each folder?

So like getting files into one directory/folder...

I have searched and came up with nothing useful at all

 

wow thats sad no one knows?!

 

I don't think that's possible? unless someone comes up with a command line or a bat file.

 

try a file manager program. Its gonna be hard since you have to be specific at which files you wanna take out from the folders

 

Fastest way is probably, open folder>crtl+a>ctrl+c>ctrl+v

 

crtl-x instead of c, x=cut, c=copy

 

Are the different folders in one place? Like are they all within one larger folder?
If it's like that you can do it with a simple command.

 

If you have cygwin installed, you can use the find command:

find . -type f -exec mv {} somedir \;

(There may be some way to do it without cygwin using regular Windows tools... I just don't know.)

 

If the files are in subfolders, use the 'Search' tool in plain old Explorer. I leave it to you to figure out the file spec to use...
And 'wow thats sad' that you expected an answer in 2 hours...

 

sorry... but I really need the files ASAP

I have ALOT of folders in my music and pictures. and I need to get them out.

But what I really need is my music, I have 570 folders + ... thats impossible to move by hand without wasting half of my day

All the folders are in another folder... fyi

 

Try this, Start->Run->"cmd"
Put in

Replace SRC with the big folder that has everything in it.
Replace DEST with a folder somewhere else where all the files will go.
For example

 

I will try this out right now
