Copying all files from a certain extension from all subfolders to main directory

Hi,

I have nested folders from which I want to get all the files with a certain extension to the main directory, but right now haven´t been able to read from all subfolders:

I have been trying to use:

movefile('dir/S *.mdf')

but it doesn´t seem to check into subfolders

Thank you in advance for any advice.

On Windows something like

    str = evalc( 'system( ''dir c:\temp\*.txt /S'' )' );

is possible. However, it remains some work to parse str
