copying many files on zsh

I am trying to copy img1.jpg img2.jpg img3.jpg img4.jpg img5.jpg from my current dir to destination folder I found the bracket syntax and I tried

cp ./img{1..5}.jpg /Users/seven/dev/Mentoring/React TS/parallax-bg-img/public/img

but also

cp /Users/seven/Downloads/img{1..5}.jpg /Users/seven/dev/Mentoring/React TS/parallax-bg-img/public/img

I have checked the path with pwd and the are both correct also I tried copying one image at a time and I can not see what am I typing wrong

I'm using iterm2 on Mac

thanks

Solution

  • Noticed you have a space between React & TS.

    Try the below with double quote or a slash

    cp /Users/seven/Downloads/img{1..5}.jpg "/Users/seven/dev/Mentoring/React TS/parallax-bg-img/public/img"

    Or

    cp /Users/seven/Downloads/img{1..5}.jpg /Users/seven/dev/Mentoring/React\ TS/parallax-bg-img/public/img

    Works fine with my zsh on iterm2
