...that will take all the files from a directory and all subdirectories and move them to a specified parent directory.

i -could- do this in winzip but it takes forever to add to zip, then have to unextract.

any ideas? i tried doing something like this in VB but couldn't figure out how to read an infinitely variable number of subdirectories and manipulate them

a batch file would probably do it.

i'm sure it could, but i'm still in the dark as to how i'm going to deal with an infinitely variable number of subdirectory below subdirectory. if i did know, i would have made it in VB already
i could whip up something real easy if i were just moving files from one single subdirectory to a different parent directory, but that's not what i need

heh well i figured out another way to do it; move the director(ies) to the recycle bin and then cut/paste them from the bin to the destination. it's more risky than the winzip method because if the recycle bin isn't large enough to hold the contents of the director(ies), stuff will automatically get deleted without the user knowing...
