[julia-users] cp problem

[K Leo]

It does not remove the target file first, but simply writes content on 
top of it and keeps the remaining contents.  Look at the following 
example on Xubuntu 14.04:

$ more test1.txt
asdasfd
sfasf
asdad
sdsdg gsdg
$ more test2.txt
dfs
sdfs
sdffsdfsgs sdgsgsdgds gsdgs
sdgs sdgsdsdh
