- Ok, tow things:
- 1) I want a method of copying whole directories. I'm used to the mac where
- you can just drag folders form one dir to another and it moves it or
- copies it. I want something similar for unix. The thing is that I
- Haven't the slightest idea how to start.
-
- 2) I was wandering what is the easiest way to do a recursive grep, where
- it searches all the files in all dirs. I was thinking something along
- the lines of "grep -R string *" but the "-R" flag is not an option.
-
- any ideas?
