Copy interactively - shell input
Hello,
I am making a script to copy files interactively from one directory to another using the "i" option because I dont want to overwrite the files. cp -i *.html ./../otherdir/ cp: do you want to overwrite (y/n) ? I used cp -i *.html ./../otherdir/ ans='n' read $ans But the script is unable to pickup the value as "n" as a response to the shell output - cp: do you want to overwrite (y/n) ? |
