Question

I have following files in one directory.

common_api.h , api.h, abcd.a

and I have a text file (copy_directory.txt) where I have to copy them.

src/mw/include/common_api.h
src/mw/include/api.h
src/mw/libs/abcd/abcd.a

I want to make a script to copy from one directory to each directory.

I made a command

cat svnModify | awk `{print $2}` | xargs -n1 basename 

but I cannot go further..

Please help.

The result I want to is

cp common_api.h src/mw/include/common_api.h
cp api.h src/include/api.h
cp abcd.a src/mw/libs/abcd/abcd.a

Answer 1

awk

% awk -F'/' '{ printf "cp %s %s\n", $NF, $0 }' copy_directory.txt
cp common_api.h src/mw/include/common_api.h
cp api.h src/mw/include/api.h
cp abcd.a src/mw/libs/abcd/abcd.a
