Batch file type scanner/grabber thingy

[cafe]

is there such a thing? software or whatever that does this?

 

I don't want to go through folders inside of folders inside of folders to drag each and every file out

let me explain

 

 

FOLDER > Huge List of Folders > each folder has a certain file type I want to grab

 

now I want a program to take that first folder and scan through all the corresponding folders inside it for that certain filetype and possibly move them to an output folder in one huge folder of awesome files that make life super simple!

 

or I can get arthritis/gg hand

Assuming you're on windows do a computer search for type:= (file extension ic .doc, .jpg etc) then shift click all the files, copy/paste?

 

So,

 

type:=.psd 

 

would return photoshop stuff

Why can't you use the search function within a folder and use *.filetype.

Search in parent folder for ".jpg" or whatever and then wait for all the results to show up, then either CTRL+X/C it out and paste anywhere.

The problem with those solutions rather than using the type parameter is that it returns EVERYTHING containing ".jpg" rather than just those that are actually jpg files. So if you happen to have a text file or something called "Totally_Not_A_Porn_Picture.jpg.txt" then that would return in the search as well, even though it's not a picture

there we go!

 

That was my main concern, but you can just change the modifier by (name: type: blahblah)

so you can avoid the mishap 

 

so thanks man

True, and there probably is a better solution to this, but that's how I've done it
