Re: [MLUG] copying many trees together

[Russell Horn <EMAIL:PROTECTED>]

I was thinking if you have a lot of directories with foo as a 
subdirectory, you might want to use find like this:

#!/bin/bash
for i in `find ./ -maxdepth 2 -name 'foo'`
do
   cp -rp $i X/.
done

I think that will find any direcory in the current directory that has a 
subdirectory of foo at its next level and copy it to X/

That way you don't need to know each directory you want to check for foo.
