Shell Programming and Scripting

Hi All,

I have a file with the contents as below.

Current_path/file1
Current_path/file2
Current_path/file3

Now i want a regular expression to copy this files to

cp Current_path/file1   HOME_DIR/Current_path/file1
cp Current_path/file2   HOME_DIR/Current_path/file2
cp Current_path/file3   HOME_DIR/Current_path/file3

Could you guys please help me to do this.

Thanks in advance,
Girish.

Try it first without the colored part:

sed 's#\(.*\)#cp & HOME/DIR/&#' file | sh

I thinks you don't need regexes for this:

cat file | cpio -pumd $HOME
