i tried below ways but it didnt work and this is in windows machine not linux.

cp "hello/my-file-print-on-text-*-win-x64.exe)" "hello/my-file-print-on-text.exe)"


cp "hello/my-file-print-on-text*-win-x64.exe)" "hello/my-file-print-on-text.exe)"

how to use cp command with wildcard the version of file whenever it gets changed copy should happen with new name?

CodePudding user response：

OK, so you said that you were doing this in Windows, so I'll give you one solution that uses Powershell to accomplish what you're looking for (copy a single exe to a folder named with a version number that comes from). This can be used with the powershell or pwsh task types in Azure Pipelines:

# Find the EXE to copy, get the first result
$exeFile = (Get-ChildItem hello/my-file-print-on-text-*-win-x64.exe | 
    Select-Object -First 1 Name).Name

# if the name of the file has some form of version in the name,
if ($exeFile -match "my-file-print-on-text-(.*)-win-x64.exe") {
    # grab the version
    $version = $Matches[1]

    # change this to the structure of the folder name you want
    $targetFolder = "path-containing-$version-number"
 
    # verify or create the target folder
    if (!(Test-Path $targetFolder)) { 
        New-Item -ItemType Directory $targetFolder 
    }

    # and then copy the EXE there
    Copy-Item $n $targetFolder
}
