copy multiple files in different directories
I have a report file that is generated every day by a scheduled process.
Each day the file is written to a directory named .../blah_blah/Y07/MM-DD-YY/reportmmddyy.tab
I want to copy all of this reports to a separate directory without having to do it one by one.
However, if I try
cp .../blah_blah/Y07/*/report*.tab /new_directory/report*.tab
I get "cannot create /new_directory/report*.tab: no such file or directory"
however,
ls .../blah_blah/Y07/*/report*.tab
displays all the files I want to copy.
How do I do this? Thanks.
