zmv

Move or rename files matching a specified extended glob pattern.

See also `zcp` and `zln`.

• Move files using a regular expression-like pattern:

zmv '{(*).log}' '{$1.txt}'

• Preview the result of a move, without making any actual changes:

zmv -n '{(*).log}' '{$1.txt}'

• Interactively move files, with a prompt before every change:

zmv -i '{(*).log}' '{$1.txt}'

• Verbosely print each action as it's being executed:

zmv -v '{(*).log}' '{$1.txt}'
