Moving Multiple files to destination files
I am running a code like this
Code:
foreach list ($tmp)
                    mv  *_${list}.txt  ${chart}_${list}.txt #mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory
                    mv  *_${list}.doc  ${chart}_${list}.doc [COLOR="rgb(65, 105, 225)"]#mv: when moving multiple files, last argument must be a directory[/COLOR]
                end

How can i solve the errors?
