Hi good people,
How to copy all files starting with letters a, b and c from /etc/ folder to /tmp/files folder?
Thanks
mkdir -p /tmp/files
cp /etc/{a,b,c}* /tmp/files/
If you want the folders too, use cp -r. Might want to use sudo if you don’t have access to some of the files to read, or if for some reason you can’t create folders or copy to /tmp.
