| AWS S3 cp Wildcard |
The AWS S3 cp command is a command-line tool that allows you to copy files and folders to and from an Amazon S3 bucket. The "wildcard" feature is a feature of the S3 cp command that allows you to specify a pattern of files to be copied using wildcard characters.
Wildcards supported by AWS S3 cp command:
The AWS S3 cp command supports two wildcard characters: "" and "?". The "" wildcard matches zero or more characters, while the "?" wildcard matches exactly one character.
Using wildcards with the AWS S3 cp command:
You can use wildcards with the AWS S3 cp command to specify a pattern of files to be copied. For example, you can use the "*" wildcard to copy all files in a folder or use the "?" wildcard to copy a file with a specific character in its name
With the "wildcard" feature, you can copy multiple files that match a specific pattern in a single command. For example, you can use the "*" wildcard character to copy all files in a specific folder or use the "?" wildcard character to copy a file with a specific character in its name.
Here's an example command that uses the wildcard feature to copy all the files that start with "my" and have a ".txt" extension from a local folder to an S3 bucket:
aws s3 cp /path/to/local/folder s3://my-bucket/path/ --recursive --exclude "*" --include "my*.txt"
In this example, the "--exclude" parameter is used to exclude all files from the copy operation, and the "--include" parameter is used to include only the files that match the pattern "my*.txt". The "--recursive" parameter is used to copy all files in the subdirectories of the local folder.
To copy all files in a folder, use the following command:
aws s3 cp /path/to/local/folder s3://my-bucket/path/ --recursive --exclude "*" --include "*"
To copy a single file with a specific character in its name, use the following command:
aws s3 cp /path/to/local/folder/file?.txt s3://my-bucket/path/
In this example, the command will copy the file with the name "fileX.txt", where "X" is any single character.
