How to Move hundreds of Files in no Time ... using Glob Patterns

But using glob patterns that could be done in only few seconds !

This is the first video of a three parts mini-series. This first part will focus on using basic glob patterns to let the shell generate long list of filenames for you.

How can I take the most of this video?

I Strongly encourage you to download the files used on the video so you will be able to try the same commands as me on your own system.

What is the target audience?

This video is clearly aimed toward new shell users. The video was designed on a Linux system and using the Bash shell. But the features demonstrated here are generic enough to work with other shells and/or other Unix-like OS (*BSD, MacOSX, …​).

What are the requirements?

  • You should have a working Unix-like system

  • You should be confortable with your file manager/file explorer
