    a pretty basic question

    I couldn't find this, but lets say I have like 100 images on my desktop,
    starting with SSL in it's name, most of them are like SSL262374.jpg and such.

    If I want to use a command in the console, what would be best to move ALL of them to a different folder?

    Now I don't want to say all files ending in .JPG because theres some other images from a different memory card that I want to keep there?
    Learning Ubuntu and C at the moment, so be patient with me

    You can do something like this:

    Code:
    mv SSL*.jpg /home/tmp
    the above code , moves all files starting with SSL to the /home/tmp map, the joker * character, substitudes the numbers behind SSL, and they are jpg.

    cheers..
