Destination Folder Adds Source Directory

[nmynarcik]

When using:

config: {
    dist: 'dist/',
    prod: 'prod/'
}
files: {
      '<%= config.prod %>': '<%= config.dist %>*'
},

The result gives a folder structure of:

dist
--filename.html
prod
--dist
-----filename.html

Is there any way to prevent it from creating the source directory as a subdirectory to the destination folder?

Yes, there is a way, but I just found that even tho it works, it is reporting an error. Let me fix it and then I'll post an example here.

v0.2.8 should fix the problem, try using something like the example below (replace my replace with your replace patterns)

module.exports = function(grunt) {

  grunt.initConfig({
    config: {
      dist: 'dist',
      prod: 'prod'
    },
    'string-replace': {
      dist: {
        files: [{
          expand: true,
          cwd: '<%= config.dist %>',
          src: '**/*',
          dest: '<%= config.prod %>'
        }],
        options: {
          replacements: [{
            pattern: 'hello',
            replacement: 'howdy'
          }]
        }
      }
    }
  });

  grunt.loadNpmTasks('grunt-string-replace');

  grunt.registerTask('default', ['string-replace']);
};

That works! Thank you!
