And it wouldn't surprise me if

mkdir X
cp -r [A-F]/* X/.

also worked. But maybe you tried this and it doesn't work for some reason.


Interesting. I think it might work. I was assuming that the directories copied later would overwrite those copied earlier, but I think that doesn't happen. I tried a couple of tests and it seemed to be working.

Funny that I could use cp for 15 years without knowing what it does!
