From: franzi on 6 Apr 2008 11:24 hi there ,is there a way more efficient and fast to mv many files from one folder to anothere one without writing all source to the target i.e $ mv /home/*.avi /root/dirx/ && /home/*.txt /root/dirx etc maybe with awk?

Hi, this is not a well-formed question, it is very confusing! One hint: If source and target are inside the same filesystem, the mv is like using rename. Thus, it is very fast. But you cannot move files without specifying a source and a target. A strange question, isn't it? --jk

If /home and /root/dirx belong to the same filesystem, then you can use mv and it will just rename the files without writing or copying them. I bet 10 MMD (Mickey Mouse Dollars) :-)

My take is: you want to move all avi, txt,...etc. files from /home to /root/dirx without having to type two or more commands, each with source and destination. If I got that right, try this: $ mv /home/*.avi /home/*.txt /home/*.jpg /home/*.odt /root/dirx or, with bash and maybe some other shell $ mv /home/*.{avi,txt,jpg,odt} /root/dirx -- All the commands are tested with bash and GNU tools, so they may use nonstandard features. I try to mention when something is nonstandard (if I'm aware of that), but I may miss something. Corrections are welcome.
