Since cp won't tell me about progress or txfer speed I hacked up this little
script I called ddcp:
#!/bin/bash
#set dummy for testing
DUM=echo
#check if target is a dir or file
#reuse source filename if it is a dir
if [ -d "$2" ] ; then
if [ ! -e "$2"/"$1" ] ; then
$DUM dd if="$1" of="$2"/"$1"
else
echo target exists
break
fi
else
#if a filename is given, just use that
$DUM dd if="$1" of="$2"
fi
Instead of actually running commands I first dry run them, hence the "echo".
Now all is fine unless I got files with spaces in their names.
Running
$ ddcp foo\ bar morf
gives me
dd if=foo bar of=morf
Now - how do I proper handle the space between foo and bar?
