In all these commands it would always be a good idea to deactivate |
| 16 |
parameter parsing just in front of the place where the file names are |
| 17 |
inserted. |
| 18 |
|
| 19 |
find ... -print0 | xargs -0 mv -t ~/.Trashcan -- |
| 20 |
or |
| 21 |
find ... -exec mv -t ~/.Trashcan -- "{}" + |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
The double dash will prevent mv from interpreting weird file names like |
| 24 |
"-h" as parameters. Just about every standard GNU tool supports this. |
