Hi,

on AIX 6.L
I want to copy the result of grep -v to test directory then :

Code:

`hostname`@oracle$ls -l | grep -v RINT -exec cp {} test
grep: can't open -exec
grep: can't open cp
grep: can't open {}
test:°`.
Can you help me ?

Thank you.

I really don't understand what you are trying to do...

"-exec" is an option for find, not for grep.

If all you are trying to do is take the sysout from grep and "copy" it to a file...

ls -l | grep -v RINT > test\NameOfFile

If you want to copy it to a file AND sysout

ls -l | grep -v RINT | tee test\NameOfFile

Hopefully this is what you wanted, and there are likely a multitude of ways to do this using other commands.

You mean something like:

find . -name '*RINT*' -exec cp {} test \;
