I've 800 or so files and folders in a folder called nonmembers. I mkdir another folder in the folder nonmembers called members. I want to copy all the 800 files in nonmembers to members. I'm in the nonmembers folder at the command line. What do I type? Sounds easy doesn't it. I tried cp -a * members but that of course includes members. I suppose I want to say 'copy everything in the nonmembers folder that was there before I made the members folder to the members folder'. If I had a gui I would simply drag and drop.
Thanks. Lynn.
simplist answer: cp * members/ lose the -a it won't try to copy members to itself. M. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
