Question

I’m creating an sh script file to move files from a folder to another, but only move files starting with system@.

So how can I move only the files that start with system@?

#pseudo-code
foreach file "system@*.*" in dir
move to /.../...

Thanks in advance.

You should really look at a bash reference before you post a question like this.

for file in dir/system@*; do 
    mv "$file" /path/to/destination
done

Apparently I’m more tired than I thought. 3coins’ comment is even better:

mv dir/system@* /path/to/destination

Assuming you don’t have enough matching files to exceed the maximum command line length.
