I have a script:
#!/bin/bash
W="\/cygdrive\/c\/Users\/dbj\/workspace\/$1\/."
echo $W
sed -n 's/^File[ ]*\([^ ][^ ]*\).*/\"\1\" '"$W"'/p' < $2 | xargs cp
Then I do
$ ./cptest1.sh test list.txt
\/cygdrive\/c\/Users\/dbj\/workspace\/test\/.
cp: omitting directory `/cygdrive/c/Users/dbj/workspace/test/.'
Why do I get "cp: omitting directory"?
The content of list.txt is
$ cat list.txt
list of file
File ..\test\file1.txt
File ..\test\file2.txt
end
