scopy

Copy files or directories filtered with multi exclude or include regular expression pattern

Usage

scopy source [destination] [options]...

source              source file or directory, must exist
destination         destination file or directory, see note

options:

-h                  help
-e <regex>          exclude filter, see note
-i <regex>          include filter, see note
-t                  tolerant, continue when error ocurrs
-u                  update only if modification time or size is different
-v                  verbose

Note

1. The order of source, destination and options make no sense except that source should be in front of destination.
2. If destination dosn't exist:
   1. If source is a directory, destination is always treated as a directory
   2. If source is a file, append a \ or / to destination will make scopy consider it's a directory, otherwise a file.
3. Patterns is apply to every file path in the source path, absolutely or relatively as given. Default pattern is include all files. For every file if none exclude pattern matched, then it's included, else continue check if any include pattern matched, then it's included, else it's excluded. In other words include filter has high priority than exclude filter.

Example

scopy dir1 dir2 -e regex1 -i regex2 -v -t -e regex3 ...

Build

Windows exe and Visual C++ 2017 project file provided. Other platform with C++17 compiler may supported, just haven't test it. You can do it yourself since there is only one .cpp file with 100+ lines of code in it and dosn't use any external libaray or system API except standard C++17 feature.
