# mmv
> Move and rename files in bulk.
- Rename all files with a certain extension to a different extension:
`mmv "*{{.old_extension}}" "#1{{.new_extension}}"`
- Copy report6part4.txt to ./french/rapport6partie4.txt along with all similarly named files:
`mmv -c {{"report*part*.txt"}} {{"./french/rapport#1partie#2.txt"}}`
- Append all .txt files into one file:
2016-02-12 23:11:51 +00:00
`mmv -a {{"*.txt"}} {{"all.txt"}}`
2016-01-21 23:42:37 +00:00
- Convert dates in filenames from "M-D-Y" format to "D-M-Y" format:
2016-02-12 23:11:51 +00:00
`mmv {{"[0-1][0-9]-[0-3][0-9]-[0-9][0-9][0-9][0-9].txt"}} {{"#3#4-#1#2-#5#6#7#8.txt"}}`
