Hi I want to do a simple copy. I have W2K on my machine and the normal dos commany would have been:
copy c:\sourcedir\*.txt c:\targetdir So I have an application that makes a call to the cp.exe cygwin file: cp c:\sourcedir\*.txt c:\targetdir I get the following error: cp: cannot stat `c:\sourcedir\*.txt': No such file or directory I changed direction of the \ to / and it doesn't help. I did notice that if I'm in the sourcedir when running the commmand the following command works: cp *.txt c:\targetdir So my conclusion is that the * is not interpreted as a wildcard when it is part fo a pathname. How can I change that so that it copies all txt files in a source dir?
