Move files of certain file type to parent folder

[Cormin]

I keep writing and deleting my code and I'm having a rough time getting something to work.. I cant for the life of me figure out how to move files from a sub folder into its parent folder. Preferably moving only one file type(*.bps) then deleting the old subfolder and all of its contents. I also want to ignore the folder named "finished"

Here's my broken code that gets a stack overflow

Func subfolders()
    $aFileList = _FileListToArray(@ScriptDir & "\Patches\", "*",2)
    if IsArray($aFileList) Then
        While $arraynumber < ($aFileList[0]+1)
            if StringInStr($aFileList[$arraynumber],"Finished",2) then
                $arraynumber = $arraynumber + 1
                subfolders()
            Else
                DirMove(@ScriptDir & "\Patches\" & $aFileList[$arraynumber],@ScriptDir & "\Patches\")
                subfolders()
            EndIf
        WEnd
    EndIf
endFunc

$arraynumber = 1
subfolders()

Just thought I'd give this a bump as its been 16 hours with no reply and this post is on the middle of the 2nd page. Sorry

Maybe you can use something like this?

#include <File.au3>
Func subfolders()
    $aFileList = _FileListToArrayRec(@ScriptDir & "\Patches\", '*;"";Finished', $FLTAR_FILES , $FLTAR_RECUR )
    If IsArray($aFileList) Then
        For $arraynumber = 1 To $aFileList[0] - 1
                FileMove(@ScriptDir & "\Patches\" & $aFileList[$arraynumber], @ScriptDir & "\Patches\")
        Next
    EndIf
EndFunc   ;==>subfolders

subfolders()

@BrewManNH This is great! Looks like it still moves files from the "Finished" subfolder though. I dont understand what you did there so I dont know how to fix it.

@Cormin when replying please just hit the Reply button rather than quoting what everyone says. We know what we said (we were there when we said it), and it pads the thread needlessly.

Sorry I was just hoping to notify that specific user...

 

I got it working, thanks again @BrewManNH I really appreciate it!
