I'm on windows 10, I need a batch script or a powershell script to solve this problem.

I have downloaded the flash tv series, the structure looks like this

    flash tv series folder
episode 1 folder
episode 2 folder
episode 3 folder
...

And the movie files are inside the episodes folders along with subtitles srt sometimes. The folders containing the episodes have different names. The episodes are sometimes mkv and mp4 mostly.

I want a script to search every folder inside flash tv series folder looking for mkv, mp4, srt and move them up to the parent folder so I can add them to a vlc or SMplayer playlist. Because now I can't do that.

    We are not a scripting service. So provide what you have attempted. If you have not even attempted to write your own script this question is likely to be closed very quickly. – Ramhound May 16 '16 at 21:29
  • @Ramhound im not a windows user, I am stuck with it for now, I don't know batch nor powershell, so I haven't attempted anything, if I don't get an answer by tomorrow then I guess I'll be on my own, I'll move everything to linux and do it using python, perl or bash. windows is not my comfort zone. – Lynob May 16 '16 at 21:33
  • @Lynob Python and Perl are available for Windows (and Python works pretty well on Windows, in my experience). If those are your preferred languages, this sounds like a great excuse to get them installed. – Ouroborus May 16 '16 at 21:36

    Also, isn't this a dup of http://superuser.com/q/999922/46507 ? – Ouroborus May 16 '16 at 21:39
  • Well we are not a scritpt writing service. So like I said unless you attempt it yourself this question will be closed. Help center goes into more detail why question like this are not considered helpful – Ramhound May 16 '16 at 21:45

Hope this helps you. Run this within the "flash tv series folder" root folder

Just MK4's

forfiles /s /m *.mk4 /c "cmd /c move @path %CD%"

Everything Except for Directories... 

forfiles /s /m * /c "cmd /c if @isdir==FALSE move @path %CD%"
