Argh! Here's a fix to a bad bug in the last version (cp "$1.image" "$1.changes" "$d" => cp "$1.image" "$1.changes" "$2")!! -------8<------- #!/bin/sh # copy image and changes force=0 if [ "$1" = -f ]; then force=1 shift fi if [ $# != 2 -o "$1" = "-?" -o "$1" = --help ]; then echo "usage: $0 [-f] image-name-no-ext [image-name-no-ext|dir]" test $# != 2 && exit 1 exit 0 fi if [ -f "$2.image" -o -f "$2.changes" ]; then if [ "$force" = 0 ]; then echo "$2.image and/or $2.changes already exist." 1>&2 exit 1 fi elif [ -d "$2" ]; then if [ -f "$2/`basename "$1"`.image" -o -f "$2/`basename "$1"`.changes" ]; then if [ "$force" = 0 ]; then echo "$2/`basename "$1"`.image and/or $2/`basename "$1"`.changes already exist." 1>&2 exit 1 fi fi cp "$1.image" "$1.changes" "$2" exit 0 fi cp "$1.image" "$2.image" cp "$1.changes" "$2.changes" On Fri, Dec 17, 2010 at 2:33 PM, Eliot Miranda <eliot.miranda@gmail.com>wrote:
Hi All,
don't know if this is useful to you or whether you've already written it yourself but I finally caved and wrote a shell command that copies an image/changes file pair, replacing the hundreds of times I've issued the two parallel commands, cpic = copy image and changes.
