I know that wonderful things can be done with find - I want to know if this command line does what I want: find . - name [filename] -execdir cp [path to master][filename] .; I have a directory tree with with a LOT of a couple of specific files in various sub-directories. Unfortunately, there's a more recent version of these couple of files - I want to replace all of the of the existing instances with the current version. I can make certain I have a current version in an arbitrary location (AKA [path to master]). So, would this command line accomplish the above? Yes, a symlink to the master from all the directories might be better - but I copy individual sub-directories out to other media - I feel safer having the actual file there. -- Scott Raun sraun at fireopal.org
