Folks;
I've got a question about how to only copy certain files of a folder
[more accurately to not copy].
I've a 10.2.8 system [so I'll be using tsch] that I need to copy the
files in one director to another directory; this is no problem, BUT I
need to EXCLUDE a couple of files; this is a problem. how can I 'walk
a directory and look at the next file to be copied and exclude it if
necessary'?
my source directory will look something like
this:'/Backup-HD/DailBckups/DayOfWeek-Evening/'; destination
'/FolderToCopyTo/'. I'm currently ending the source with a wild-card
'*' to copy everything.
Any suggestions on how to EXCLUDE certain files that I know the exact
names of?
TIA
Russell
