Hi,
Using qshell and the 'cp' command, I'm wondering if there's a way to copy all the files from one directory to a new directory, without copying any of the sub-directories within the original directory.

For example, lets say the original directory is /DIR1 and the new directory is /NEWDIR, and /DIR1 contains the following:
DIR1
Sub-Dir1
Sub-Dir2
Stmf1
Stmf2

I would like to copy only Stmf1 & Stmf2 to /NEWDIR. I would like to omit the subdirectories from the copy, is this possible using the 'cp' command?

Thanks
Nanette J Schernecker
