Help moving files from sub-folders to a single folder

I've figured out how to scan a folder for subfolders and then make a move action. The problem is I only want to copy the contents of the sub folders either to the containing folder or possibly another folder without the subfolders that contain the files. I know this is an easy one but I can't seem to get it working.

If you're looking to move files to the parent folder, you can do this:

Code: Select all
if (all) of the following conditions are met for (the file or folder being processed):
     …

Do the following to the matched file or folder:
     move to enclosing folder


Else, just use the move action to define where you want your files to go.

I am able to get the mover going but all it does is move the whole subfolder and it contents up one level. I just want to move the files created in my Batch Rip TV directory out of their subfolders inside Batch Rip TV to the root of Batch Rip TV. Can't make it work.

Read the sticky article at the top about subfolders.
