Normally, when a glob which does not match any filenames is expanded, it remains unchanged. Thus, you get results like this:
$ rm .bak rm: cannot remove `.bak’: No such file or directory
To avoid this we need to change the default value of nullglob variable.
#BASH shopt -s nullglob for i in dir1/*.txt_dir; do mv $i/*.txt dir2/'basename $i'.txt done

Hope this helps!
