Move files from multiple folders to multiple folders in Linux

How can I move files from multiple folders to another location. For example if I have 3 folders with name /test/folder1, /test/folder2, /test/folder3 and I want to move the contents of these folders into another location like /temp/folder1, /temp/folder2 /temp/folder3 using a script. I do not want to move these folders, instead I want to move the files inside these folders. Please Help

Solution

  • Something like 

    cd test
for dir in folder*; do
    mv "$dir/*" "/temp/$dir"
done
