      From: kant@have.it              Hi everyone.              I have sort of a problem. I'd like to search through various directories and       copy, or move, files to a single directory. Minus the directory structure and       with lots of special characters/spaces in the file names. This would be fairly       easy except I don't want to overwrite an existing file (the -n option). The       option works, but it doesn't tell me with a return code (i.e. nonzero) that it       did nothing. Anybody got an idea how to accomplish this with a bash script?              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
