rough and ready, off the top of my head: |
| 13 |
|
| 14 |
cd dir1 |
| 15 |
for i in *jpg |
| 16 |
do |
| 17 |
j = basename $i .jpg |
| 18 |
cp -u ${j}.jpg dir2/${j}_original.jpg |
| 19 |
done |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
'cp -u' works around the messy problem of checking if the destination |
| 22 |
file exists |
