recurcive file.group

[moteus]

recurcive copy does not create directory tree

  file.group{odir=J(INSTALL_DIR, 'test' ); recurse=true; src = J('test', '*.*') };

produce: copy test\ex\test.lua lib\test\test.lua > nul copy test\luasql\odbc.lua lib\test\odbc.lua > nul copy test\testdb.sql lib\test\testdb.sql > nul

Yes, good point. The recurse option was originally for selecting source files, but I will see if we can make file.group behave in the way you want.

++ on this one. Having a way to map/copy a tree would be excellent, ala xcopy.

[stevedonovan]

OK, let's do it, in a platform-aware way. (For Windows xcopy does fine, cp -r works fine on Linux, not sure about OS X)

[stevedonovan]

Looks like its cp -R

If you compare this BSD cp to the Linux cp you'll see they're rather different beasts!

It is already work. Should we close this issuse

[stevedonovan]

Alexey, I had forgotten that I'd fixed this issue ;) file.group should be the way to do it, although perhaps I'll provide a file.copy_tree to do wholesale copies directly.

Copy files without extension still do not work :( Do i need open new issuae?
