merging directories in linux

[rocksea]

I have a folder with several subdirectories.
I want to put all the files in all these subdirectories to one directory.
(i.e. move/copy just the files without copying the directory structure)
Does anybody know of any method to merge these directories to one?

I tried $rsync dir1 dir2 .. targetdir

but it created new subdirectories in the target directory..

maybe if directories have similar names ( result01 result02 result03 ...) you can make a script with a loop. :occasion5

ya, using a shell script can be thought of..

then, even if the names are not similar, one can make a directory list and feed into the loop,,
