Batch create a Folder in every subfolders and Move all the .jpg files in it

I made this batch file that makes a folder named Pictures and puts all the .jpg files in it.

@echo off
md Pictures
for %%i in ("*.jpg") do (
 move /Y "%%i" "Pictures" )
end

Is there anyway to make the script iterate through subdirectories as well? I want to run the batch file on a root directory and make it work for all subfolders.

Solution

  • Based upon the answer you've supplied, I would suggest you could do that like this, in a single line :

    @For /D %%G In (*) Do @"%__AppDir__%Robocopy.exe" "%%G" "%%G\Pictures" *.jpg /Mov >NUL 2>&1

    As an alternative, because For /D may not pick up all of your directories, (it ignores directories with the hidden and system attributes):

    @For /F "EOL=? Delims=" %%G In ('Dir /B /AD') Do @"%__AppDir__%Robocopy.exe" "%%G" "%%G\Pictures" *.jpg /Mov >NUL 2>&1
