Hello MR Singh,
So i have urn that command it does exactly the same as my amazing for loop tests and cp -rp and other stuff, what a pain.
Basically they work.
I am so annoyed that i dont understand basics or dont know proper practices , i just want to do stuff the correct way. Maybe i know them and im just undermining myself i dont know.
I want to copy the files in the folder to the target folder, NOT the base folder.
so i want to copy literally a folder called "source" to "target" BUT only the content of the source folder and NOT the folder called source also.
I have tried to use
Code:
| cut -d/ -f2
flip i am struggling.
that cut should work but cpio is failing because it is trying to copy text and it doesnt know that it is actually objects to copy.
Code:
cpio: Error with fstatat() of "Compare", errno 2, No such file or directory
cpio: Error with fstatat() of "Compare", errno 2, No such file or directory
cpio: Error with fstatat() of "Compare", errno 2, No such file or directory
cpio: Error with fstatat() of "artest", errno 2, No such file or directory
cpio: Error with fstatat() of "artest", errno 2, No such file or directory

Anyone able to help with this?

fprev
NEW(1) [nmh-1.5] NEW(1)NAME
new - report on folders with new messages
fnext - set current folder to next folder with new messages
fprev - set current folder to previous folder with new messages
unseen - scan new messages in all folders with new messages
SYNOPSIS
new [sequences] [-mode mode] [-folders foldersfile] [-version] [-help]
fnext is equivalent to new -mode fnext
fprev is equivalent to new -mode fprev
unseen is equivalent to new -mode unseen
DESCRIPTION
New in its default mode produces a one-line-per-folder listing of all folders containing messages in the listed sequences or in the
sequences listed in the profile entry "Unseen-Sequence". Each line contains the folder, the number of messages in the desired sequences,
and the message lists from the .mh_sequences file. For example:
foo 11.* 40-50
bar 380. 760-772 824-828
total 391.
The `*' on foo indicates that it is the current folder. The last line shows the total number of messages in the desired sequences.
New crawls the folder hierarchy recursively to find all folders, and prints them in lexicographic order. Override this behavior by provid-
ing foldersfile containing the pre-sorted list of folders new should check, one per line.
In fnext and fprev modes, new instead changes to the next or previous matching folder, respectively.
In unseen mode, new executes scan sequences for each matching folder.
FILES
$HOME/.mh_profile The user profile
PROFILE COMPONENTS
Path: To determine the user's nmh directory
Current-Folder: To find the default current folder
Unseen-Sequence: The name of the unseen message sequence
