How to use CP command

ajaz_javeed · 03-06-2007, 04:56 AM

Hello everybody,

I have a bunch of files named bkp1.arch to bkp99.arch.

I want to copy just files numbered bkp11.arch to bkp92.arch.

What is the exact CP command in this situation ?

Thanks and Regards
AJAZ

What you could use is the "seq" command ("man seq" for information about it).

This could lead to:

Code:

for number in $(seq 11 92); do cp bkp${number}.arch /target/path; done

You should not be double posting.

$ man cp
