Can somebody help me please, I want to put this line into my .emacs -
'cp ~/.emacs ~/.emacs.d/.emacs-$(date +%Y%m%d-%R)' but it works as part
of a bash script, but I don’t know elisp to get it working in my .emacs.
What it does is save a dated and timed copy of your .emacs in your
~/.emacs.d so that when you're trying things out and learning how to
use .emacs you'll always have a backup copy. A case in point, last
night I had org2blog working, today, after fiddling its stopped
working, but if I'd had this operational I could just revert to a known
and working .emacs. So, can you help please?

Thanks
Sharon.
