This sounds like an excellent opportunity to make a function, or to feed an embedded pipe with a list... while read f; do cp -f $f dest || error oops done <<EOF file/path/1 file/path/2 ... EOF That sort of thing. There are many ways to skin that kitty. -- Jim _______________________________________________ busybox mailing list [email protected] http://lists.busybox.net/mailman/listinfo/busybox
