Hi
I have many files with extension *.tts in the students subfolders eg C:\students\test\brian.tts, c:\students\test2\ken.tts, c:\students\test3\steve.tts and I just want to copy the *.tts file into 1 folder eg(d:\project\). Can some-one help me to create a batch file do this as I have used xcopy but it also copies the subfolders over and copy doesn't seem to find the subfolder files.
Thanks
Ken

Use Total Commander from www.ghisler.com.
Search for the files *.tts. Show the results i one panel, copy all from that panel to the destination folder.

Hi
I know I can search it in windows, but I need to do it in a batch file as it's for users with limited knowledge.

KEN what you are using is NT Command Prompt, this is not and has never been MSDOS, therefore though some command do have the same name the functionality is different.
Therefore this belongs in the W2K forum

Mechanix2Go you are not helping educate posters that NT Command Prompt is different by responding. This is after all called the "DOS FORUM" !!!
