Copy Files in Batches using Search Terms

This function is a command line program that copy all the files in a set of sub-directories whose file names match a given set of search terms, into a new directory. The new directory's name can be specified or automatically generated. The copied files will retain their old name structure, except the sub-directory name from which they originated will be appended onto the name.

Follow the command-line instructions. File name search terms can not include single quotes. Search terms preserve spaces between words, hence do not include spaces that are not there, and are case sensitive.
