Hi,

Someone can suggest me how to recursively copy files from a given directory while adding preffix to the copies in destination dir?

Thanks in advance for any suggestion(s).

Andrei

How about: for i in `ls`; do cp $i /some/directory/prefix.$i; done

ls -A or else will list . and ..

Must be broken in 9.3 as it still shows the . and .. files on my system.

And what does "echo $LS_OPTIONS" provide that may alter ls's output and/or "alias ls" for the same reason. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

echo $LS_OPTIONS -N --color=tty -T 0

alias ls='/bin/ls $LS_OPTIONS'

I did an unalias ls and now works as expected. None of the options that were set should have had an effect on the output though. Thanks for the info as I didn't expect any alias for the ls command, the ones related yes, but not ls.

Something else has it head stuck in there, then. My output from a bare 'ls' does *not* include ., .., or any of the .xxx files. -- Patrick Shanahan Registered Linux User #207535 http://wahoo.no-ip.org @ http://counter.li.org HOG # US1244711 Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery

Are you saying

ls -A | grep "\.\."

actually produces output on your system?

Then yes, it is broken

That's only true if the command is: env - /bin/ls -A |grep "^\.\.$" Otherwise and alias, shell procedure or intervening script could alter the options passed. Secondly, "ls" responds to some environment variables. Lastly, the unanchored grep command you specified would include a file such as "..foo" or "foo..bar". Randall Schulz
