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

dired provides this capability. You can move/copy files based on a regexp.

In Dired: `%m' to mark files matching a regexp, then `C' to copy the marked
files.

%m (dired-mark-files-regexp)
then
R (dired-do-rename)
You can get a list of all the dired bindings by C-h m in a dired buffer
