cp not coping properly
Hi,
I'm trying to copy the directories from one location(/tmp/source/) to other(/tmp/dest/). for this I have written a PERL script. snippet of code Code:
$sourcePath = "/tmp/source";
$destPath = "/tmp/dest";
opendir(DIR, $sourcePath );
while($dir = readdir(DIR))
{
if($dir ne "." && $dir ne "..")
{
$sourceDir = $sourcePath . "/" . $dir;
$destDir = $destPath . "/" . $dir;
$cpCMD = "cp -rf $sourceDir $destDir";
system $cpCMD;
}
}
But for others the directories are created like /tmp/dest/report1/report1/files instead of /tmp/dest/report1/files.  If I'm not clear, Please revert. can somebody help me? Thanks in Advance. Last edited by prashants; 11-19-2008 at 04:41 AM.. |

Well the sort of issue you may get with cp is when it sees a link, and copies it ...as a directory with all its content etc...
Why not use cpio? or test if dir is a true dir or a symlink... why cpio? It will copy depending of your options the links as links... (but there are also other commands to choose from) how? source= /tmp/source dest=/tmp/dest In HPUX... Code:
cd $source; find . -print|cpio -pduml $dest |
