[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1909182, member: 110816"] Assuming that you've named the folders in a way through which [B]find[/B] gives you the correct order, just adding "-f" to the [B]cp[/B] command will ensure that the same file found later on will replace the already existing/copied file. So the 1.txt from c will overwrite the previously copied over 1.txt from a in that case. The limitation of this command is that you lose any subfolders and their structure, you will just get a flat list of files. There are ways to control that of course with a script and arguments to find.. Let me see what I can do.. [/QUOTE]
