Thank you

Thank you, I ended up doing something like this.


Quote:
find . -mtime -1 -type f |\
while read file
do
cp -rp $file ../${AREA}/$file
done
I have been experimenting further, what if I needed to check for directories or found a new file in a subdirectory that did not exist outside my development directory. I tried dropping the type -f from the find but I keep getting weird results. At one point I had it putting everythign where it needed to be, but an additional copy of each file was also copied to the base directory of my source directory. Somehow I thought when I first decided on this that it would be a little easier.
