Just a thought...   Are you sure "./" is your first path?  If not, "mv
contnet syaAHQ" may have found another "contnet" file somewhere and moved
it.

Subject: [uug] mv


I'm on Mac OS X.

I have a bunch of directories:  AqtSAd, LbrAj, and so on.  I decide to put
them
all under another directory, called content.

So, I type

mv AqtSAd content
mv LbrAj content

and so on.  But then I make a mistake:

mv syaAHQ contnet

OK, so I've renamed a directory.  I rename it back:

mv contnet syaAHQ

and put it where it belongs:

mv syaAHQ content

Two questions:

1) Why is content/syaAHQ now empty?
2) How do I get these files back?
