Well that search through the subdirectories of the source directory or would I have to put another option in?

Hello again,

Is there an option for the cp command to overwrite existing files in the destination directory?

Cheers

Rob

Don't worry I've found a solution. (Well I got a UNIX guru in my office to do it.)

It pipes the destination directory as well by the way.

(
find source-directory -name "*.pdf"
...

could you give an example of how I'd do that?

It would be a great help

Hi,

Within a shell script I'm trying to copy all the files in a directory structure to another folder but only the files of type "pdf"

I have made a start but I can't work out how to finish it....
