App for extracting Files from the Folder..

[dipen01]

Yes sounds bizarre..

But I have a situation wherein there are like 75 folders, each having 1 or 2 files and I want to merge all those files from 75 folders into One Folder..

Anyway I could do it, without visiting each folder and doing cut+paste ?

Thanx..

P.S :- Tried various search strings at Google but with no relevant results.

You can do that with Winrar I think.

Are you sure ?

Not working with Winrar, Just tried.

What about running XCOPY command in a prompt?

Like "xcopy /s *.* myfolder"

I forget the exact syntax to play around with...see Microsoft Windows XP - Xcopy and not sure if it can copy only files or will copy entire folder structure... (try *.* for that)

Worst case, you can write a script/c program to do it heh

In the Winrar create archive window, goto Files -> File Paths -> Do not store paths. Should work that way.

Another workaround:

If the files are of a certain extension(s) then go to the top folder and run a search in explorer for those files... you will get a separate list of all the files wonly which you can then copy/cut/paste into the new folder! tada!

or u can search for *.* should list all the files in each directory...

When extracting with WinRAR, in the advanced tab select 'Do not extract paths'.
All files will be dumped into a single folder.
