Hi guys!
I need to know how I can move hidden folders because I have a script that backs up my svn projects everyday and I have 2 backup folders "Today" and "Yesterday". It is like this:
#!/bin/sh#this is just to know how long it takes#the problem is here because I can't mv the hidden folders (those with the ".") and then when I do the line in red, I get one folder per day per which hidden folder...and thats a lot of data and in case something happens to the today folders I lose the backup of my hidden folder and they are very important
ls -a /esp-server/svn/ > list.txt
Thanks a lot

if you're looking how to get something moved which holds a . and more than one extra character use the ? to indicate it ie:
mv /network/ftp-backup/svnbackup/Today/.??* /network/ftp-backup/svnbackup/Yesterday
This way it will take ".[a-z|0-9|etc][a-z|0-9|etc]" avoiding the dreaded '..'
oh man! I luve thiz forum...Thanks a lot
