I need to set up a batch file that will copy files from a preset directory, several layers down, organized into a folder in the current directory using batch files.
The file structure looks something like this,
AAA
--0001
----textures
------file1.tga
------file2.tga
------file3.tga
--0002
----materials ...
--0003
----textures ...
--0004
----scripts ... etc
--0005 ...
--0006 ...
BBB
--0001 ... etc
---textures ... etc
CCC ...
DDD ... etc
I want to move each textures, materials, models (etc.) folders into a single folder beneath the parent item (eg. AAA) so that the folder structure then looks like this, with all sub-files in tact,
AAA
--textures
--materials
--models
--scripts
I've been trying to use a code similar to this, with no success as of yet,
for /d %%a in ('dir /b .\AAA*\textures') do copy "%%a" ".\AAA"
Whereas the wildcard would go between 'AAA' and 'textures' folders. The same would apply for every other 2nd-generation sub-folder.
I just tried another version of the command which moved the files, but not the folder. I'm launching the batch file from within the "AAA" folder.
for /d %%a in (0001) do copy "%%a" "."
I think the issue is not knowing how to properly input directory wildcards into the "for" command, which could be a very simple fix.
Any help would be greatly appreciated beyond measure.
