pmv

A command line tool to move multiple files at once, using wildcard patterns.

Features

• Accepts wildcard patterns for selecting files to move
• Colorized terminal output
• Runs on Windows and Linux (may run on macOS too?)

Usage

```text USAGE: pmv.exe [FLAGS]

FLAGS: -n, --dry-run Does not move files but just shows what would be done

-h, --help
        Prints help information

-i, --interactive
        Prompts before moving an each file

-V, --version
        Prints version information

-v, --verbose
        Writes verbose message

ARGS: A pattern string specifying files to move. If the pattern contains wildcard(s), multiple files matching to the pattern will be targeted. Supported wildcards are:

            ? ... Matches a single character
            * ... Matches zero or more characters
<DEST>
        A pattern string specifying where to move the targeted
        files. If the pattern contains tokens like `#1` or
        `#2`, each of them will be replaced with a substring
        extracted from the targeted file path. Those substrings
        matches the wildcard patterns in SOURCE; `#1` matches
        the first wildcard, `#2` matches the second,
        respectively. For example, if SOURCE is `*_test.py` and
        DEST is `tests/test_#1.py`:

            Exisitng File | Destination
            ------------- | -----------------
            foo_test.py   | tests/test_foo.py
            bar_test.py   | tests/test_bar.py
            hoge_test.py  | tests/test_hoge.py

```
