Hello, I am trying to write a script that copies all files in the directory tree to a folder without the folders. Only teh files inside them. For example, I have Folder1\Folder2\Folder3 and I want to copy all files in the 3 sub folders into Folder4. I tried this but it fails: For %%J in (*.*) Do (XCOPY "C:\Folder1\%%J" "C:\Folder2\" /Y) Please Help
