Extract all the files with name containing a keyword

Question

I have thousands of html file in a directory. I wanna extract files that contain Chennai in the file name and put it into another folder. I am sure it is possible. I am not close enough to copy the files to another folder.

Answer 1

Use globbing:

mv *Chennai* target/

If the file names might start with a dot, use

mv .*Chennai* *Chennai* target/
