Pull multiple files from Android via ADB using wildcards
Annoyingly the output of the adb shell ls command includes line-feed control characters that you can remove using tr -d '\r'.
Examples:
adb shell 'ls sdcard/gps*.trace' | tr -d '\r' | xargs -n1 adb pull adb shell 'ls /sdcard/*.txt' | tr -d '\r' | sed -e 's/^\///' | xargs -n1 adb pull
Programs

for OpenVPN and i3bar
