Delete a subdirectory and move the files to the parent

[SGirard]

Hi everyone,

I didn't see this question in the list so i hope that i didn't just missed it.

I have an export utility that will automatically create folder that would look like this
c:\Export\Client1\Correspondance\General\Filename1.msg
c:\Export\Client1\Correspondance\Unclassified\Filename2.msg
C:\Export\Client2\Tax\return\taxreturn1.pdf
c:\Export\Client2\tax\unclassified\Working paper.xls

I would like to scan the whole Export folder and take all files in the different \Unclassified\ folders and bring it to the parent folder and get rid of the folder.
So the result would look like:
c:\Export\Client1\Correspondance\General\Filename1.msg
c:\Export\Client1\Correspondance\Filename2.msg
C:\Export\Client2\Tax\return\taxreturn1.pdf
c:\Export\Client2\tax\Working paper.xls

Is there anyway to do this?

Thanks for your help!

Greetings SGirard. Im thinking this requires the experts for javascript code in Special(14), but after searching the forums, nowhere did I find some code like this.
If the experts not can help, I can post batch with exiftool that conducts like your explanation.

Hi, this sounds like something you would do with a Powershell script.

Yes, Im now thinking to just use a simple batch!

Code: Select all

@echo off
cd C:\Export
for /f "delims=" %%A in ('dir /b /s unclassified') do (
move "%%A\*" "%%~dpA"
rd "%%A"
)
echo Done, press any key to continue
pause>nul
