In Korn Shell:
Code:
#!/bin/ksh

if [ ! $# -eq 2 ]
then
        echo "Usage: $(basename $0) <filename> <target directory>"
        exit 1
fi

fname=$(basename $1)
current=$(pwd)

cd $2

lastval=$(ls $fname* 2>/dev/null |sort | tail -1 | cut -d. -f2)

if [ "$lastval" = "" ]
then
        lastval=1
else
        (( lastval = lastval + 1 ))
fi

cd $current
cp -f $1 $2/$1.$lastval

If your script is for example "mycopyfile", use it like:
Code:
./mycopyfile FILE /path/to/files

cscope-indexer

cscope-indexer(1)					      General Commands Manual						 cscope-indexer(1)

NAME

       cscope-indexer - Script to index files for cscope

SYNOPSIS

       cscope-indexer [-v] [-f database_file] [-i list_file] [-l] [-r]

DESCRIPTION

       This  script  generates	a list of files to index (cscope.out), which is then (optionally) used to generate a cscope database.  You can use
       this script to just build a list of files, or it can be used to build a list and database.  This script is not used to just build  a  data-
       base (skipping the list of files step), as this can be simply done by just calling "cscope -b".

       Normally,  cscope will do its own indexing, but this script can be used to force indexing.  This is useful if you need to recurse into sub-
       directories, or have many files to index (you can run this script from a cron job, during the night).  It is especially	useful	for  large
       projects,  which  can  contstantly  have source files added and deleted; by using this script, the changing sources files are automatically
       handled.

       Currently, any paths containing "/CVS/" or "/RCS/" are stripped out (ignored).

OPTIONS

       -f database_file
	      Specifies the cscope database file (default: cscope.out).

       -i list_file
	      Specifies the name of the file into which the list of files to index is placed (default: cscope.files).

       -l     Suppress the generation/updating of the cscope database file.  Only a list of files is generated.

       -r     Recurse into subdirectories to locate files to index.  Without this option, only the current directory is searched.

       -v     Be verbose.  Output simple progress messages.
