Can someone explain why this:
find . -depth -print0 | cpio --null -pmd /tmp/test
will copy all files in and below the current directory -and- this:
find . -depth -print | grep -v .iso$ | wc -l
will count all the non-iso files -and- this:
find . -depth -print | grep .iso$ | wc -l
will count *only* the iso files -but- this:
find . -depth -print0 | grep -v .iso$ | cpio --null -pmd /tmp/test
doesn't copy *anything*? Any suggestions for a work-around would also
be most welcome.
What does this give you?
find . -depth -print0 | grep -v .iso$
The print0 option causes all the file names to be on a single line. So
when you grep out .ios$ you're losing the whole line.
Here's a tar alternative to the other cpio based solutions:
# mkdir /tmp/test
# tar cf - . --exclude '*.iso' | (cd /tmp/test; tar xvf -)
