Is there a script or batch file I can run to do the following: I have several folders, all of which have 1 subfolder in each named 001. Files are contained in the 001 subfolder. I would like to run a script where all the files in the 001 subfolder would move one folder level up, into their parent folder. Please help.. Thanks in advance.

The files are currently located on a CD and I have both a DOS based and XP based machine available to use, so I don't think I'm posting in the wrong forum.

Hi
Are you intending to do this on the CD, or on your Hard Drive.

will move the files from the CD to hard drive and then run whatever needs to be done - do not intend to re-write to the CD

Sme versions of MSDOS or equivelent will not recognise FAT32 and none will recognise NTFS therefore this should be addressed with a NT O/S Batch and as said before not applicable in this forum in my humble opinion.......

If the files are on the CD and your final destination is on the hard drive a directory level above, why not just copy them to the right directory, instead of copy then move.
