I have about 50 folders, within each of these is 10 sub-folders, these 10 sub-folders are then divided into a further 3 folders. Now what I need to do is extract the following into one folder:
- for each of the 50 folders, I only need 3 specific folders out of the 10 sub-folders
- within those 3 folders I've chosen, I need only 1 out of the 3 sub-folders
- then extract all the files in this final sub-folderThis is definitely not a task I can do manually, as it will take forever. However, I can't just extract all files since I'm looking for specific folders.
Is there some type of program I can write to specify which folders to extract from? I'm also relatively new at computer coding in general, so the simplest solution would be appreciated.
Probably. If you define which files & folders.

Ok, I've managed to use xxcopy to extract all the files to one folder, while also renaming them by appending the folder they came from onto the original file names. Then I can filter out the ones I don't need by using "search" and specifying the appropriate criteria.
Although it takes a while to copy the large amount of files (since I can't specify the exact folders I had wanted), it is definitely better and less time-consuming than doing it manually because I can just set the program running by itself.
