How to Move hundreds of Files in no Time ... using the Find Command

But using the find command that could be done in only few seconds !

This is the second video of a three parts mini-series. This second part will focus on using the find command to apply some command to files buried arbitrary deep in the file system hierarchy.

How can I take the most of this video?

First, if you haven’t watched it yet, take a look at the the first part of this series.

Then, 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
