RE: [MLUG] cp -R --skip [pattern]?

["Woodsmall, Ryan \(IATS\)" <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

Use the "!"
 
  find . -type f ! -name \*.mp3 -exec cp {} /new/path \;
 
or use the "-print" option to pipe filenames to cp, mv, tar, cpio, etc.  This will copy anything that is NOT an mp3 file.  rsync is awesome and all, but it's overkill for something like this.

That skips all *mp3 files and copies all others?
I would have thought that it copies mp3 files and ignores all others.
