I'm trying to recursively copy a directory / file structure from one directory to another, keeping only html files. Should be a simple case of include / exclude shouldn't it?
I just want to print out the files first. When I get that right, I'll copy them.
rsync -a --list-only -v SOURCEDIR --exclude='.*' --include='**/*.html'
Gives me all the files.
rsync -a --list-only -v SOURCEDIR --include='**/*.html' --exclude='*'
and
rsync -a --list-only -v SOURCEDIR --include='*.html' --exclude='*'
rsync -a --list-only -v SOURCEDIR --include=*.html --exclude=*
Give me no files.
rsync -a --list-only -v SOURCEDIR --include='*.html' --exclude='*.*'
Looks like it gives me the whole directory structure and only html files. But I don't want empty directories.
Help!
