Hi,
I'm using cp -Rp to copy directories while preserving permissions. I want to exclude any ".lproj" files except for "English.lproj" and "en.lproj" from being copied, but the rest is copied as usual. Is there a way to do this (without using tar or other compression utilities)

I need to be able to identify files with file timestamps greater than a given timestamp.

Find all files in the current directory only excluding hidden directories and files.
For the below command, though it's not deleting hidden files.. it is traversing through the hidden directories and listing normal which should be avoided.

Hii,
Could someone help me to append string to the starting of all the filenames inside a directory but it should exclude .zip files and subdirectories.
Eg.

bup-meta
bup-meta(1) General Commands Manual bup-meta(1)NAME
bup-meta - create or extract a metadata archive
SYNOPSIS
bup meta --create
[-R] [-v] [-q] [--no-symlinks] [--no-paths] [-f file] <paths...>
bup meta --list
[-v] [-q] [-f file]
bup meta --extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [--no-symlinks] [-f file]
bup meta --start-extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [--no-symlinks] [-f file]
bup meta --finish-extract
[-v] [-q] [--numeric-ids] [-f file]
DESCRIPTION
bup meta either creates or extracts a metadata archive. A metadata archive contains the metadata information (timestamps, ownership,
access permissions, etc.)
for a set of filesystem paths.
OPTIONS -c, --create
Create a metadata archive for the specified paths. Write the archive to standard output unless --file is specified.
-t, --list
Display information about the metadata in an archive. Read the archive from standard output unless --file is specified.
-x, --extract
Extract a metadata archive. Conceptually, perform --start-extract followed by --finish-extract. Read the archive from standard
input unless --file is specified.
--start-extract
Build a filesystem tree matching the paths stored in a metadata archive. By itself, this command does not produce a full restora-
tion of the metadata. For a full restoration, this command must be followed by a call to --finish-extract. Once this command has
finished, all of the normal files described by the metadata will exist and be empty. Restoring the data in those files, and then
calling --finish-extract should restore the original tree. The archive will be read from standard input unless --file is specified.
--finish-extract
Finish applying the metadata stored in an archive to the filesystem. Normally, this command should follow a call to --start-
extract. The archive will be read from standard input unless --file is specified.
-f, --file=filename
Read the metadata archive from filename or write it to filename as appropriate. If filename is "-", then read from standard input
or write to standard output.
-R, --recurse
Recursively descend into subdirectories during --create.
--numeric-ids
Apply numeric user and group IDs (rather than text IDs) during --extract or --finish-extract.
--symlinks
Record symbolic link targets when creating an archive, or restore symbolic links when extracting an archive (during --extract or
--start-extract). This option is enabled by default. Specify --no-symlinks to disable it.
--paths
Record pathnames when creating an archive. This option is enabled by default. Specify --no-paths to disable it.
-v, --verbose
Be more verbose (can be used more than once).
-q, --quiet
Be quiet.
EXAMPLES
# Create a metadata archive for /etc.
$ bup meta -cRf etc.meta /etc
bup: removing leading "/" from "/etc"
# Extract the etc.meta archive (files will be empty).
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ bup meta -xf ../etc.meta
$ ls
etc
# Restore /etc completely.
$ mkdir tmp && cd tmp
$ bup meta --start-extract -f ../etc.meta
...fill in all regular file contents using some other tool...
$ bup meta --finish-extract -f ../etc.meta
