I simply do not believe this behavior is intentional, nor "as planned".
It is the correct behaviour. "mv Dir/*.*" gets expanded (by the shell) to "mv Dir/A.txt Dir/B.txt", and this is what you got. If you'd like to be warned of what mv does, you can supply the -i option to it, which will ask for confirmation before each file it moves. Sorry for your loss though... _______________________________________________ Bug-fileutils mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-fileutils
