[SOLVED] How do you send the output of ls to mv?

Issue

I know you can do it with a find, but is there a way to send the output of ls to mv in the unix command line?

Solution

One way is with backticks:

mv `ls *.boo` subdir

Edit: however, this is fragile and not recommended -- see @lhunath's asnwer for detailed explanations and recommendations.
