UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers

I have a directory of about 30,000 image files. The file names are all yearmonthday.jpg however some of the files have yearmonthday-snapshot.jpg

i would like to move all files that contain the phrase -snapshot to their own directory.

Any assistance with the proper commands would be much appreciated.

I try cp *snapshot.jpg /snapshots but it says my argument list is too long. Probably because there are so many files

how about:

Code:

find . -type f -name '*snapshot.jpg' -exec mv {} /snapshots \;
