Re: cp: omitting directory, for copying only files, sed

[David <dbj at vip dot cybercity dot dk>]

Hi Edgar
So you think it should be a missing newline?
I don't think that is the case, because the cp operations happens as 
they should. Further more I have tried adding the newline with a \n , 
and it doesn't help.
Regards David
