Hello,
Since a long time, I use for instance mv folder*/*jpg img/
command to move all jpg images contained in the directories starting with 'folder' string in the directory named 'img/'.
I tried something similar this morning and mv
command told me he could not find folder* ...
It looks like mv
is now not really a move but a rename, a characteristic that I did not expect.
Why don't we use the mv
command that I used to call since many years now ? I do not understand the removing of this feature which is one of the strength of the use of command lines instead of graphical interfaces (and it is very usefull in bash shell when you call a program that use a number of parameters not known in advance).
May someone explain me and tell me if this feature (of wildcard expansion) is planed to be added to futur versions of mv ?
Thank you in advance.
