Hi
Somebody wrote me a script to copy the newest file in a distant directory to
the current directory, unfortunately I can't find it, (it was at least a year
ago)
eg
> copy_newest_file_in_dir /path/to/dir/
BTW the archive search at
http://www.zsh.org/cgi-bin/mla/wilma/users
doesnt seem to be working

Thanks I've just added an echo
function cpn()
{
setopt localoptions
setopt globassign
local nf nd
[[ -z ${1} || -z ${2} ]] && printf 'usage: cpn <fromdir> <todir>\n' &&
return 1
nf=${1}/*(.om[1]N)
nd=${2}/*(/om[1]N)
result="cp $nf $nd"
[[ -n ${nd} && -n ${nf} ]] && command cp ${nf} ${nd} ; echo $result
}
