#!/bin/sh

#MoveWithPWD
#You must translate the slash or the move will fail.
#
MyPWD=`echo $PWD | tr '/' '-'`
#echo $MyPWD
#
#In the for loop you specify the files you wish this gets them all
#See man ls
#
for i in `ls -A`; do
   mv -v $i /home/<user>/.Trash/$MyPWD.$i;
done





to list the files if you choose minus for the translation of the /
The double dash must be after the minus l in order for the command
to know to handle files starting with a minus.

All my scripts started as other peoples ideas modified many times for my
own needs.  This is the best I could do on short notice.  Of course you
will have to put this under some directory on your user and make a alias
for rm in either dot profile or dot bashrc referring to this script.

So now you have your first script enjoy it in good health and have some
fun with it, on test data.  

Likely someone here will provide you a reversal script for restoring
single files from .Trash to their original locations.
