* Move or rename files
|
|
|
|
Use "~mv~ source destination" command
|
|
|
|
: mv /home/myuser/text.txt /home/myuser/Documents/text.csv
|
|
|
|
Example: moving the ".config" files to ".config3", then moving
|
|
".config1" to ".config" to arrange configuration archives.
|
|
|
|
This creates a copy of each file in the same directory
|
|
|
|
: pwd # check where are you now
|
|
: # moving files
|
|
: mv file1.txt file3.txt
|
|
*Moving multiple files* can be possible. Selecting all the files ending
|
|
in ".mp3" within Downloads
|
|
|
|
: mv ~/Downloads/*.mp3 ~/Music/
|
|
*Moving multiple* files included within a text file. Files are included in "filesmv2.txt" and are moved to
|
|
"tmpfiles" directory. "t" argument stands for "target directory"
|
|
|
|
Each line in the "txt" file looks like this:
|
|
'/home/user/file1.pdf' # original
|
|
|
|
: $ cat filesmv2.txt | xargs mv -t ~/tmpfiles
|
|

|
|
the name. '*' indicates that there are characters or numbers before and after the word "nasa"
