CP: how to flaten the destination directory?
by DBabo from LinuxQuestions.org on (#5GXD6)
Hello,
im trying to avoid writing a script and wonder if there is a way to "flatten" the destination directory during copy? .. magic combination of params in cp... maybe something with tar ...
e,g.
given:
source dir/XXX/file.name
source_dir/file1.name
desired:
dest_dir/file.name
dest_dir/file1.name
