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

When the option is used, the header information is described by:
Longtime and Longfile are equivalent to and respectively. The contents of each file are recorded together with other items describing the
file. Every instance of contains the constant 070707 (octal). The items through have meanings explained in stat(2). The length of the

The last record of the archive always contains the name Directories and the trailer are recorded with equal to zero.

the option is not present, special files are not archived or restored. Non-HPUX device special files are never restored.
