mv command not working as I want.

Hello,

Firstly I'm using MINGW32, which shouldn't make a difference (hasn't so far for everything else I've done...). Anyway, I'm wanting to move all files within a directory to another directory. I'm using this command:

mv "D:\Work\Miscellaneous\nightly\*" "D:\"

Open in new window


This seems to do absolutely nothing though. Any suggestions?

Thanks,
Uni

Forward slashes should work just fine



mv D:/Work/Miscellaneous/nightly/* "D:/

Open in new window
