So, now it works with the primary copying, but the secondary copying has * in it, and that doesn't work now...
Code:
orig_dir="/Applications/My cool app/$1/"
file_to_copy="$orig_dir$one_single_file"
# This works, yea, thanks!:
cp -v "$file_to_copy" .
file_array=( "lotsoffiles1*" "lotsoffiles2\*" "lotsoffiles3\\*" lotsoffiles4\\\* )
for a_bunch_of_files in ${file_array[@]}
do
file_to_copy="$orig_dir$a_bunch_of_files"
cp -v "$file_to_copy" .
done
The second cp (inside the for loop), hates me. As you can see in the file_array I tried lots of different tactics, with these results:
Code:
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles1*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles2\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles3\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles4\*: No such file or directory.
Can you (or anyone) solve that too?

Noticed that I had forgot "-signs on nr. 4 so I tested:
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles1*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles2\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles3\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles4\\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles1*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles2*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles3\*: No such file or directory.
/Applications/My Cool App/andersdirectory/lotsoffiles4\*: No such file or directory.
