Top Forums Shell Programming and Scripting find files in sub dir with tag & add "." at the beginning [tag -f "Note" . | xargs -0 {} mv {} .{}] Post 303043312 by Scrutinizer on Friday 24th of January 2020 01:00:28 AM

Hi,

in order for xargs to use NUL character as separator, the utility before the pipe needs to produce them.

try:

Code:
mdfind -0 -onlyin . "Note" | xargs -0 -I {} echo {}

or
Code:
tag -0 -f "Note" . | xargs -0 -I {} echo {}
