Let's say I have a path like this
/x/xx/file
I want to move all files inside sub folders of /x/ to /x/ at the same time. Is this possible?
I'm on Ubuntu 16.04.
The subfolders have different names, and I want to move all files inside a subfolder no matter the depth, to /x/. Also it's possible that I'll have spare files inside /x/ that are not in any sub folder. No files should go above /x/ no matter what.
Move to target folder and execute:
find . -mindepth 2 -type f -print -exec mv {} . \;
with -mindepth 2 it will search recursively without including the current directory.
x given your example...
find ...-exec mv -t . {} + may be slightly faster (less calls on mv)
This works depending on the number of child directories
mv */* .
this python script should do the job on windows:
import pyautogui
import keyboard
import time
# Pause for a few seconds to give you time to switch to the window you want to automate
time.sleep(10)
print("10sec")
while True:
pyautogui.press('enter')
print("Pressed Enter key")
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'a')
print("Pressed Ctrl+A keys")
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'x')
print("Pressed Ctrl+X keys")
pyautogui.press('backspace')
print("Pressed Backspace key")
time.sleep(3)
pyautogui.hotkey('ctrl', 'v')
print("Pressed Ctrl+V keys")
pyautogui.press('delete')
print("Pressed Delete key")
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.press('enter')
print("Pressed Enter key")
time.sleep(1)
pyautogui.press('right')
print("Pressed Right Arrow key")
pyautogui.press('left')
print("Pressed Left Arrow key")
# Listen for the Esc key press and stop the script if detected
if keyboard.is_pressed('Esc'):
break
note: it also deletes the subfolder
