1. [OT] Recursive dir (linux)
Hi
Anyone know of a quick way to recursively copy a directory tree under linux
with filemasking.
cp -R ~/euphoria/*.e* ~/tmpdir
does not work, and only copies the top level.
I will write a little routine if there is no solution, just didn't want to
re invent the wheel.

Maybe you can try this (untested!):
cp `find ~/euphoria -iname '*.e*'` ~/tmpdir

Hi
Just the top level. But heres how to do it - find was the key.
find ~/euphoria -iname "*.e" -o -iname "*.ex" -o -iname "*.exu" -exec cp
--parents '{}' ~/eutemp \;

groan - that should have worked, just found its only copying the *.exu s. Oh
separate lines in a script it is then.

Hi Chris
I don't have a tailor-made solution for you, but another way to do this is with
tar, eg:
tar cvf - ~/euphoria/*.e* | tar xf - -C ~/tempdir
(Will make a folder 'euphoria' under tempdir)
This is how they recommend you do this over separate filesystems too.

Hi
Again, strangley, that only did the top level. I think the reasoning goes
something like, I have no directories that match *.e*.
Th find technique works fine, since even if duplicate files are picked from
one line to another, I wanted these anyway.

Heh, that's the problem with *nixes I find. You can spend hours reading a man
page to figure out how to do one particular task, then forget it when you need it
several years later 
I'm glad find worked, that's another one I spent days reading several man pages
for to figure out how to get the 'and execute this' bit working with the proper
shell escape sequences for bash.
These days I tend to just write scripts to do stuff straight away, I'm over the
"these Unix guys knew how to do things properly so they must be right" buzz. :)
So, er, yeah, why not just write something in Euphoria to do it??

Hehe - I started, then doing it this or that way intrigued me, and I too got
lost in man page heaven!
