Exclude directory in recursive copy
am 13.11.2007 14:32:52 von Kenneth Brun NielsenHow can I (easily) exclude a directory ("CVS") from a recursive copy?
The executed command is:
cp -vur sourcedirectory .
Best regards,
Kenneth

Can you use rsync? Something like
rsync -av --exclude=CVS source_dir dest_dir

this should work :
find source/ -type f -exec cp {} . \;

That would copy all the files into one directory, and wouldn't exclude
any files.
