Recursively dump all sub-dirs contents?

Hi,

I have a dir structure that has many many subdirs, I would like to dump all the files from al the sub-dirs into a single directory? Can someone tell me the mv command that would do this please?

before example:
datadir/
datadir/datajan/jan.dat
datadir/datafeb/feb.dat

after example:
datadir/
datadir/datajan.dat
datadir/datafeb.dat

and so on.....

thanks in advance for any help.
regards

NAME
FcDirScan - DEPRECATED: formerly used to scan a font directory SYNOPSIS
cc [ flag... ] file... -lfontconfig [ library... ] #include <fontconfig.h> FcBool FcDirScan (FcFontSet *set, FcStrSet *dirs, FcFileCache *cache, FcBlanks *blanks, const FcChar8 *dir, FcBool force); DESCRIPTION
This function does nothing aside from returning FcFalse. It used to scan an entire directory and add all fonts found to set. If force was FcTrue, then the directory and all files within it were scanned even if information was present in the per-directory cache file or cache. Any subdirectories found were added to dirs. VERSION
Fontconfig version 2.5.0 ATTRIBUTES
