Hi
Feeling dim today, so this is probably trivial

I want to replace all versions of a file in hierachy with a more recent 
version

Depending on what the criterion is for files that need replacing,

  for f in oldlocation/**/*(.); do
    cp newlocation${f##oldlocation} $f
  done

Wouldn't a find be better?

You can still do it without find:

for f in **/SQLyogTunnel.php; do
	cp c:/aaa/replace/SQLyogTunnel.php $f
done

(I don't know how paths are handled under windows...)
