[Linux-disciples] Moving files

[Karl Sokol]

I was a little sloppy with my English.  I meant to say that I had trimmed
everything from the -exec on out and it still came up with no results.  The
'ls' was after much finageling and /home/church/Desktop/new is still empty.

I see the value in having this skill in the toolbox, but I have clearly
spent more time on it than I ought to have.  Thank you for your help though.
