A simple for loop will do it:
Code:
for FILE in `find /usr/options/textfiles -type f`
do cp -p $FILE /usr/text
done
The "type -f" says to find only regular files so would omit directory names (as well as block and character devices and symbolic links).
The "cp -p" says to copy it with the same modification date, permissions, ownership and group as the original.
FILE is an abitrary variable name which is later referenced as $FILE. You could use FRED and $FRED instead if you preferred - the name doesn't matter so long as it isn't a reserverd variable like PATH.
