dir c:\ /A:D /O:N > list.lst

for /f %%i in (list.lst) do move c:\%%i\*.* c:\ /y

I think?

Did you run my code in a .bat or just paste it into a CMD window? If you paste it, you need to change all the

'%%i' to '%i'.

Download xxcopy and use the /sg switch

Ignore. Didnt read the extract bit, as in compressed.

Just a question about what you mean, how do you go about extracting a folder?
Do you mean the windows compressed folders?

 

[thewanted]

I don't think he wants to 'extract', per se. He wants to move files from a subdirectory, to their parent directory.

Wrong choice of words, methinks.

 

[SimonCHere]

It's the
"extract every file under every folder in a certain directory and move them"
which makes me think he has some compressed folders to work on. Then the comment about the zip files code.

Nice code for moving the files though.

My bad, I screwed it up.

dir G:\Usenet\Complete /A:D /O:N /B > list.lst

for /f %%i in (list.lst) do move /y G:\Usenet\Complete\%%i\*.* Usenet

If you run this from G: it'll move all files from the subdirections in G:\usenet\complete\ to G:\Usenet

 

[Matt-Page]

I've seen for loops have some odd results sometimes unless you use brackets. So for your example it would be:

dir G:\Usenet\Complete /A:D /O:N /B > list.lst

for /f %%i in (list.lst) do (
move /y G:\Usenet\Complete\%%i\*.* Usenet
)

Still not working mate?

Post the error.
