Hey again, Emacs Lovers.
How do I copy/move a set of files matching a regular expression from
one directory to another? It seems like copy/move-file() takes only
one file at a time.
Thanks in advance,
Per Nordlöw

It looks like you want dired-do-rename-regexp .
You have to mark the files before operating, and since you're moving
between directories you'll have to use absolute paths.
