I have some markdown files that I want to move to a different directory called "newDirectory2" within "newDirectory1".

These files contain the string "abc" or "ABC" or "Abc" somewhere in their titles

I tried the following command:

rename 's/newDirectory1\/newDirectory2\/$1/s' 's/(^.*[abc|ABC|Abc].*.md)/s'

But it doesn't work :/, what I'm doing it wrong? please help

    You need to study Rename's syntax more carefully, for there are several mistakes in your attempt. Composing a minimal, reproducible example (with some sample files before/after the operation) is very helpful too. Commented Jan 26, 2021 at 21:59

I think you're overcomplicating the issue. A straightforward mv will achieve what you're asking,

mv *[Aa][Bb][Cc]* newDirectory1/newDirectory2
