wiggle loop Controlling Wiggle global Position Still / Loop Expression Shorts - Read External Text Document by David Torno Welcome to the first episode of at least five at the moment in the Expression Shorts series. With this series I have put together some short tutorials on various After Effects Expression code that can be very handy.

Recently I was asked if I knew how to “flatten” a folder hierarchy. Well, I did find a way to do it, and lo-and-behold, no utility app is needed. I’ve successfully tested the solution described there on both Windows XP and Windows 7. Basic Command (the details) for /r %f in (*) do @copy "%f" . So how does this work?
