If I run the command mv folder2/*.* folder , I get argument list too

  • 0

If I run the command mv folder2/*.* folder, I get “argument list too long” error.

I find some example of ls and rm, dealing with this error, using find folder2 -name "*.*". But I have trouble applying them to mv.

    find folder2 -name '*.*' -exec mv {} folder \;
    

    -exec runs any command, {} inserts the filename found, \; marks the end of the exec command.
