Help/Support I need help with the cp command

[Guest]

I'm trying to copy the app image from its folder to /var/mobile so I know that the code works and then I can go from there.

 

I'm getting the stupidest f**king errors when its such a simple f**king command, cp, copy something from one damn place to another place, and thats pissing me off the most.

 

Here's the code: system("cp `$path/*/$appfolder` '/var/mobile'");

 

$path is /var/mobile/Containers/Bundle/Application

The wildcard is for the crazy app names

$appfolder is what the user puts in for the app folder's name

 

The first argument has to be in `'s or else the stupid phone treats it as a string where the * is literally a *.

 

The error I'm getting is: cp: missing destination file operand after '/var/mobile'

 

Please help, I've been at this for almost 4 hours and I want to punch a whole in the wall

any other suggestions then? This is in Perl and I already tried copy and it won't work with wildcards

bash script? Use system() to run that bash script.

Alright. I'm making a nic template that auto fills in your offsets and keys and features and many other things, you want it?

/var/mobile is a file location whereas /var/mobile/ is a directory
