-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 According to Amr on 10/8/2008 6:58 PM: > [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo cp [src > windows/Amr-1/WINDOWS/Fonts/*ttf]/usr/local/share/fonts/ > [sudo] password for blue: > cp: cannot stat `[src': No such file or directory
Thanks for the report. However, it appears that you have a misunderstanding on the syntax for cp. And you could have provided more details on what you were trying to accomplish, along with your screen capture. > Usage: cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST > or: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY In this case, the [] are metasyntactic devices meaning that what they enclose is optional; the literal [] are not part of what you type. The error message from cp reinforces this - you asked to copy a file literally named "[src", which does not exist. Do you really have a directory named 'src\nwindows', with the newline in there? Perhaps you meant to type something like this? cp srcwindows/Amr-1/WINDOWS/Fonts/*ttf /usr/local/share/fonts/ - -- Don't work too hard, make some time for fun as well!
