DWIM feature request for cp
Hello, I want to ask the developers what do they think about implementing a way to do cp -r .* target (copy files and directories starting with dot) without copying the parent directory .. (I think that's what the user usually intends to do) Thank you all and keep the good work, Roberto -- Roberto Rodríguez http://www.robertorodriguez.com.ar ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils

2007/8/15, Bob Proulx [EMAIL PROTECTED]: If you are using GNU bash then it is pretty easy to avoid .. if you want. echo cp -r .!(.|) target/ OK, thank you all for your explanations. I wasn't aware of the expansion in shell. I'll read more about that in the Bash manpage. -- Roberto Rodríguez http://www.robertorodriguez.com.ar ___ Bug-coreutils mailing list Bug-coreutils@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
