    move multiple folders based on file extension


    Hi,

    I have a main folder with 2000+ subfolders.

    500+ of them have ISO files.

    I want to move all the folders that contain ISO files to a new separate folder.

    How do I do it?

    Obviously, I can find all the ISO files when searching via win explorer, but I don't want to move just the ISO files themselves. I want to move the whole folder that has that ISO file.

    :)

    2. Navigate to the folder to be treated.
    3. Press Ctrl+L
    4. Type this command:

      cmd /c ren *.Layout1 *.

    Can I replace multiple files in multiple folders?

    I know I can search for multiple files in multiple folders by searchiing using an * and extension, e.g. *.pdf. If I try and replace these files by dragging files to replace them into the folder with the files that I want replaced, won't the files to replace
    restored the folders that the files I want to replace are?
