adb pull multiple files
adb, android
Solution
You can use `xargs` and the result of the `adb shell ls` command which accepts wildcards. This allows you to copy multiple files. Annoyingly the output of the `adb shell ls` command includes line-feed control characters that you can remove using `tr -d '\r'`.
Examples:
# Using a relative path
adb shell 'ls sdcard/gps*.trace' | tr -d '\r' | xargs -n1 adb pull
# Using an absolute path
adb shell 'ls /sdcard/*.txt' | tr -d '\r' | sed -e 's/^\///' | xargs -n1 adb pull
Problem
What is the best way to pull multiple files using ``` adb pull ``` I have on my `/sdcard/` 25 files with following name: ``` gps1.trace gps2.trace ... gps25.trace ``` Wildcard does not work: ``` adb pull /sdcard/gps*.trace . ```
