Hi,

im using linux with gedit which has the wonderful habit of creating a temp file with a tilde at the end for every file I edit.

im trying to move all of these files at once to a different folder using the following:

find . -iname “*.php~” -exec mv {} /mydir \;

However, its now giving me syntax errors, as if it were searching through each file and trying to move the piece of text. I just want to move all of the files ending in .php~ to another directory. Any idea how I do that?

Cheers Ke
