Hi...

how can i copy by script or command files with *.v suffix by "-p" option ?

Example:

kuku.ggg
kuku.dd
kuku.v
kuku.vb

Code:

cp -p path/ *.v

Substitute path with location.

Works for me.

Cheers, Lou

Are you saying that you want to use the -p flag only if the file contains ".v" extension?

How about this:

Code:

find <path> -name "*.v" -exec cp -p {} newname \;

seems o.k but how can i set that if it doesn't equal to *.v that use cp without "-p" option?

Code:

for filename in $(ls -lR); do
     if [ <test for .v> ]; then cp -p <details>
     else cp <details>
     fi
done

Insert the appropriate code inside the <...>

I was only trying to show the approach---basically to look at one file at time, determine if it has the .v extension, and then take the desired action.

I'm sure that "cshell" has similar syntax--check your documentation.
