Tip #177 Copy and paste from the command line
Add the following alias and function to your profile to be able to copy and paste files at the command line:ccopy(){ cp $1 /tmp/ccopy.$1; }
alias cpaste="ls /tmp/ccopy* | sed 's|[^\.]*.\.||' | xargs -I % mv /tmp/ccopy.% ./%"
You can see below how this can be used:
blackbird:~/tst tks1$ ls 1.txt 2.txt t1.tss t2.tss t3.tss blackbird:~/tst tks1$ ccopy 1.txt blackbird:~/tst tks1$ ccopy 2.txt
blackbird:~/tst tks1$ cd ../tst2 blackbird:~/tst2 tks1$ ls
blackbird:~/tst2 tks1$ cpaste
blackbird:~/tst2 tks1$ ls 1.txt 2.txt
