I want to move some 10 or 20 files with the mv command to one directory. But
if the file names are long the number of characters in the command line is

This is one of those Unix IAQs. For Linux, you can:
find /path/to/dir -stuff that -lists your -files | xargs mv
--target-directory=/path/to/new/dir
