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

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

Mike's requirement could probably be satisfied with something like:
 
  rsync -auv --exclude "**.mp3" /path/to/old/. /path/to/new/.
 
I use the heck out of rsync nearly every day, but I generally stick with the find/tar/cp/mv/cpio/etc. standards as they're available even when rsync isn't.  The "*" and "**" patterns in rsync's exclude syntax always throw me for some reason, hence my overdependence on the rsync man page...

Indeed. I like rsync for this kind of thing because it's one single
command, it has a dry-run option, it's interruptible (just rerun the
command, and it'll only copy what needs to be copied), it has an
intelligent filter for omitting version control folders/data (svn or
cvs), works across a network...
