Hi,
Here's one for you...
If I have a range of files named dcp_1100.jpg - dcp_1189.jpg and I only want to copy 1156-1183, how do I do it.
cp dcp_11[56-83].jpg <dest> does not work, but cp dcp_115[6-9].jpg <dest> does.
OK, how about this...
cp dcp_11{5[6-9],[67][0-9],8[0-3]}.jpg dest
Yeah, it's not pretty, but it should work. The alternative is something like... (in bash):
for number in $(seq 1156 1183); do cp dcp_11$number.jpg dest
^^ this was a deliberate error, honest... obviously this *will not* work unless you strip that 11, either from the seq or here.
done
