I'm really annoyed. I'm trying to copy Pages documents which are packages using do Shell Scripts. I tried with cp and ditto but the result is not the wanted one. I get only simple files of size zero, not the packages. I may zip the package, copy the created archive, unzip the copied archive and delete the original one but it seems a bit boring. Of course I may use the Finder but I try to stop using it.
Is there a command able to copy packages ?
A package is merely a directory with specially arranged contents; cp(1) should be perfectly capable of copying it. Did you use the -R option? (Of course, cp on a directory with no -R should have just failed, not given you a zero-length file.)

PS: Pages '09 documents are zip archives; you must be using an older version?
(1) Thanks for the responce allowing my script to behave correctly. (2) iWorks '09 documents may be zip archives but we are free to set the preferences to save as packages. As I received many corrupted iWork '09 flatfiles, I use the package format for all my documents.
