hi,
I have a directory that contains several hundred files and I want to
copy them all except _one_ file.
This sounds so easy yet still I am stuck or blind or stupid. Is there no
"not" operator in bash?
If it were, some construct like the thing below could then list all files
in "/opt/too_many_files" except "no_not_this_one":
% ls -l /opt/too_many_files/*{!no_not_this_one}
Yes, I know this doesn't work, but is there any other efficient way to do
this in bash?
happy hacking
