    Hi Guys,

    Just playing around with some batch files for the first time after being asked to convert some files.

    I've a folder with plently of subfolders, with alot of .tga files in them. I was wondering if there is a way for me to start at the root folder and then take and .tga files and move/copy them to another folder?

    Can this be done with a batch file? if so, how?

    Thanks!

    for /r old_folder %f in (*.tga) do move "%f" new_folder

    or

    cd old_folder
    for /r %f in (*.tga) do move "%f" new_folder

    Just type "HELP FOR" in a cmd window to discover all the other wonderful things you can do with the FOR command :)
