Hi,
got a problem. (Who knew)

Got a folder for logs from a single program, been running this program for a
long time and each day a new log is created.

Unfortunately I didn't setup this program as I thought I did.

Each log is named dd-mm-yyyy.txt, the program has on top of that created a
folder for each log.

So the structure is now

E:\logs\dd-mm-yyyy\dd-mm-yyyy.txt

which is kind of redundant if you ask me, I have corrected the setup in the
program, so the new logs are going to my intented folder

E:\log\

Problem is now, how do I get all the old logs from each subfolder, back to
the parent folder. I have maybe 50 logs that I need moved and would hate to
do it one at the time.

Is there any quick way to do this in XP?
Tryed move in cmd prompt, but couldn't get it to work.

Best Regards
Claus Kramme

mvn, if I had bothered to read the previous post, sorry about that.
