Moving Multiple Files...

[Casper315]

Hello,
I need to move one .jpg file to 137 folders and for the life of me I can't remember how to do this in Dolphin or Konqueror. Is there a separate program for making this task easy or am I missing something (I know, I'm missing something)!


Thanks for the help!!!!

Re: Moving Multiple Files...

I think probably the easiest way would be to use the find command. For instance, to copy the file "cover.jpg" into all subfolders of the current folder you can do:

find ./* -type d -print -exec cp cover.jpg {} \;

If the problem is a little more complicated you can use a script similar to the following:

#!/bin/sh

for dir in *
do
  if [ -d $dir ]
  then
    cp cover.jpg $dir
  fi
done
