Usage

USAGE:
    pmv.exe [FLAGS] <SOURCE> <DEST>

FLAGS:
    -n, --dry-run
            Does not move files but just shows what would be done

    -h, --help
            Prints help information

    -i, --interactive
            Prompts before moving an each file

    -V, --version
            Prints version information

    -v, --verbose
            Writes verbose message


ARGS:
    <SOURCE>
            A pattern string specifying files to move. If the
            pattern contains wildcard(s), multiple files matching
            to the pattern will be targeted. Supported wildcards
            are:

                ? ... Matches a single character
                * ... Matches zero or more characters
    <DEST>
            A pattern string specifying where to move the targeted
            files. If the pattern contains tokens like `#1` or
            `#2`, each of them will be replaced with a substring
            extracted from the targeted file path. Those substrings
            matches the wildcard patterns in SOURCE; `#1` matches
            the first wildcard, `#2` matches the second,
            respectively. For example, if SOURCE is `*_test.py` and
            DEST is `tests/test_#1.py`:

                Exisitng File | Destination
                ------------- | -----------------
                foo_test.py   | tests/test_foo.py
                bar_test.py   | tests/test_bar.py
                hoge_test.py  | tests/test_hoge.py
