Hi Karan,

Yes you probably would be better using a script or loop to do this, as an aside it is possible to move multiple files using the mv command as follows.

Code:
-bash-3.2$ ls Uploads/p*
Uploads/parser.exp    Uploads/phantom.html  Uploads/pr.nawk       Uploads/preparser.sh
Uploads/pdf2html.pl   Uploads/pr.gawk       Uploads/prair
-bash-3.2$ mv Uploads/p* uploads/
-bash-3.2$ ls Uploads/p*
Uploads/p*: No such file or directory
-bash-3.2$ ls uploads
parser.exp    pdf2html.pl   phantom.html  pr.gawk       pr.nawk       prair         preparser.sh
-bash-3.2$ ls Uploads/h*
Uploads/hexgen.scr
-bash-3.2$

It is essential that the destination is a directory.

Regards
