Hello all,
I am trying to copy a file called ".something" from a
/dir1/dir2 directory into /dir1/dir2/dir3/dir4/dir5/dir6/dir7...etc.
That is, each sub-directory must have a copy of this file. I have tried:
cp -r .something /dir1/*
But that didn't do it. Thoughts?
find /dir1 -type d -exec cp .something {} \;
Paul.
That did the trick. Thanks!
