Hola,

Trying to build a function into a batch file that will find all the PDF files in a folder with
multiple sub-folders, then move the PDF files to a single folder on another drive.

For example:

@echo off
for %%f in (f:\EDR\Storage\*.pdf) mv %1 e:\pdffiles\

Or something similar that would actually work!!

TIA.
