"depth" of COPY?

Post by wkitty42 »

i've read everything i can locate and waded thru hundreds of messages but have not found an answer to this particular question...

how deep does the COPY command go with wildcards?

take a structure like this...

templates/subSilver/file1.foo
templates/subSilver/admin/file2.foo
templates/subSilver/images/file3.foo

is it sufficient to just

copy templates/subSilver/*.* to templates/subSilver/*.*

and be done with it? will COPY traverse the internal directory structure and (re)create it as needed?

'*.*' matches "hello.dolly" and ".dolly" but not "hello" if that answers your question

'*' would match all of the above

As for the standard, the last should work, but I don't know personally how easyMOD has implemented it, sorry.

Yes.

Code: Select all

copy templates/subSilver/*.* to templates/subSilver/*.*
Works for all of the foo's ;). Just checked with a test MOD to be sure.
