Hi
I have 60 folders which all have two or three files in them, I need to move the files from the 60 folders into one folder.

Is there a quick way of doing this all at once? rather than folder by folder and file by file

Thanks

If you do a search from the parent folder for *.* you should be able to select the whole set of results and copy etc from there

How do you mean? Would the files have to have the same file name for this to work?
Thanks

Lets assume all the files you want to move are roughly the same. So one file could be 00133.txt and the other could 55158.txt. Or perhaps the files are all the same file type so *.txt

Now lets assume the following folder...

FOLDER_A\SUBF_1
FOLDER_A\SUBF_2
FOLDER_A\SUBF_3
FOLDER_A\SUBF_4
...
FOLDER_A\SUBF_58
FOLDER_A\SUBF_59
FOLDER_A\SUBF_60

Navigate to FOLDER_A and do a search on this folder for either *1*.txt or *.txt.

Thanks this makes sense,
So if all these folders lived in sub folder called revision, it would simple be a case of searching against the revision folder?

^ Yes mate. Thats exactly what you need to do.
