Dear Friends,

how to copy hidden files (.) from one dir to another
dir.

for example

   /etc/skel/* /home/ccs 

for a in `find /etc/skel`
do
[ $a != "." -o $a != ".." ]&& { cp $a /home/ccs; };
done


find /etc/skel -exec cp {} /home/ccs \;

look at exec option in man find.
Note flower brace and \; are a must
The file name will be substituted in {} by find.

Raman.P
