Need shell command...

[Tim Wheatley]

Hi there,

I need a command to run in shell to move files from sub dirs into a single dir...

Like move:

folder1/folder2/file.zip
folder1/folder3/file2.zip

into

folder4/file.zip
folder4/file2.zip

Anyone?

mv folder1/folder2/* folder4
mv folder1/folder3/* folder4

This assumes you are running this from the parent directory of these directories.

Is there any way to get the folder number of the 'from' folder to automatically increase by one and run up to a number i specify?

Not that I'm aware of.

It is possible, but you will have to write some pretty snazzy bash commands...
