Hello,
I'm hoping someone can help me with a problem. I need to have a batchfile witch can move all my fonts from their folders into one folder.
ex: in folder FONTS i have the folder fontname1, fontname2... fontnameX, and i want to move the files from every fontname folders (1,2..x) into one folder.
See IVO´s post. You only has to eliminate size comparison and change %%~zj to %%jj.

You want to move all files from C:\....\FONTS\fontname1, C:\....\FONTS\fontname2, C:\....\FONTS\fontnamex to C:\...\FONTS ? Here is a script.
# Script movefonts.txt
# Collect list of files.
var str list ; lf -n "*" "C:\...\FONTS" ($ftype=="f") > $list
while ($list <> "")
do
# Get the next file from the list.
var str file ; lex "1" $list > $file
# Move file to "C:\...\FONTS".
system move ("\""+$file+"\"") ("\""+"C:\...\FONTS"+"\"")
done
Make sure you change "C:\...\FONTS" to the correct path everywhere in the script. Script is in biterscripting ( http://www.biterscripting.com ). Save the script as C:\Scripts\movefonts.txt, start biterscripting, enter the following command.
script movefonts.txt
Test the script first. I have not tested it.
