U N T E S T E D : ----------------- find olddir -type d | while read d; do mkdir "`echo \"$d\" | sed s,^olddir,newdir,`"; done find olddir -type f -name \*.mp3 | while read f; do mv "$f" "`echo \"$f\" | sed s,^olddir,newdir,`"; done This duplicates the directory tree `olddir' to `newdir' and moves files ending in .mp3 to the new tree. Should work with filenames that contain spaces, but not with filenames that contain line breaks. Martin -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
