In need of software to extract images from multiple directories

(1/1)

wetsmellydog:
I thought I would post here before going to coding snacks.

I purchased a bunch of files that are used to cut out shapes. Unfortunately they do not have a catalog of the 184 directories and what are contained therein! The files have numbers and do not represent what they are.
You can see what I am talking about here; layered 3d svg files

The program needs to look for a specific file using wildcards and then copy the directory name and file to a specified directory.

Example; The file string I am looking for is *-01.png which can be found in sub-directory Christmas Trees. I would like to copy the file, rename it to the sub-directory name and place it in a specified directory. The result is c:\christmas ornaments catalog\Christmas Trees.png

I am sure there is a program already out there that can do this simple task. Thanks!

My File Punter program can do this.

Let me know if you need help with the regular expression part.

Thanks! I played with File Punter but it is lacking a few specifics that I am looking for.

Here are the files in the directory Angel

I need to copy the file d1060-01.png to a new directory and rename it angel.png after the directory that it was found in.

Each directory has a *-01.png file that is a picture of what the directory contains. I want to copy them into a separate directory and create a catalog of what the directories contain.

I hope this clarifies what I am looking for.

I found this utility. It is free and powerful. It is doing exactly what I needed.
