Dumb question for the others. It's late and I don't have my books....

However, can you wild card with the move()?

Looking up the online doc it says:

The move function also takes two parameters: the current name and the intended name of the file to be moved. If the destination already exists and is a directory, and the source is not a directory, then the source file will be renamed into the directory specified by the destination.

If possible, move() will simply rename the file. Otherwise, it copies the file to the new location and deletes the original. If an error occurs during this copy-and-delete process, you may be left with a (possibly partial) copy of the file under the destination name.

You may use the "mv" alias for this function in the same way that you may use the "cp" alias for copy.

It only mentions file....
