I was wanting to know, pls, if I can somehow automate some functions that
windows explorer does. Perhaps there is some code I could write that does
the following for me instead of clicking my way through windows explorer.

Problem: I have hundreds of folders. Each folder contains .wav files. The no
of wav. files varies from folder to folder. The name of each folder is an
integer as is the name of each .wav file. Each folder name is unique. Each
..wav name is unique.

Aim: I want to "strip" all the .wav files from their location within each
folder and put all the .wav files into one folder. The single folder i end
up with will have all the .wav files that were previously spread over
hundreds of folders. As an example, he path of the first wave file would be
something like: new_folder.wav1. The path of the second would be
new_folder.wav2 etc.

I would be happy if someone can just point me to a method of doing this
without using the windows Explorer point and click facility because to do so
manually wold be an onerous job and not repeatable very easily.

Thankyou in advance,
