Script to move files up a directory

[tehon3299]

Hey all,

I am looking for a quick script (shell, perl, anything) that will take all files in any subfolder and move it up 1 directory. Example...The layout of /home/blah/ is:
test1/
test2/
test3/
test4/

and there is a file in each of those directories, ie...

test1/test1.txt
test2/test2.txt
test3/test3.txt
test4/test4.txt

I want to move all the .txt files to /home/blah/.

Any Help??

Thanks!!

Something like this ?
cd /home/blah
mv */*.txt .

Hope This Helps, PH.
