MV all files and append date

Shell Programming and Scripting

All,
I am trying to setup a command that will mv all files in a directory to another location and append a filedate.

for example:

mv * /location/*'date %y%m%d'

Any help?

Interesting...
Does it work?

Usually for such tasks( move multiple files and renamve them on the fly...) people use loops...

lol no it doesn't work, but you are right I will have to probably use a loop. I guess a

for file in /directory/*; do mv $file $file-`date +%m%d%y`; done

Works

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction
