I am trying to move specific files from one folder to another. Would the below work?

mkdir test

touch test1.sh
touch test2.sh
touch test3.sh

mkdir test2

find test/ | xargs -I% mv % test2

JavaScript
​x
 
mkdir test​touch test1.shtouch test2.shtouch test3.sh​mkdir test2​find test/ | xargs -I% mv % test2​

Answer

I think this can work:

find ./ -name "test*.sh" | xargs -I% mv % test2

JavaScript
 
find ./ -name "test*.sh" | xargs -I% mv % test2​
