How to move many files from one directory to another via OSX console?

Question

Command line

mv*. * gives a "too many argument" error. There are a lot of files, is there really a limit for copying / moving files by number?
That is, you need to move only the files, and leave the folders. All files in /dir should be moved to /dir/newdir . How to give a command to move only files?

Answer 1

You need to use a bunch of find and mv:

cd /dir
find . -maxdepth 1 -type f -exec mv {} /dir/newdir \;
