Two solutions using mv and bash's glob control features: $ shopt -s extglob # enable extended globbing $ cd /data/product # effective on basenames only $ mv !(*.dat) /data/archives/2005 Or $ GLOBIGNORE='*.dat' # tell bash to ignore *.dat $ mv /data/product/* /data/archives/2005 $ unset GLOBIGNORE # revert to normal behavior -Chris -- fedora-list mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-list Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Communicate/MailingListGuidelines
