We can use echo $PS1 to view
test#testauto:~$ echo $PS1
\[\e]0;\u#\h: \w\a\]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u#\h:\w\$
test#testauto:~$
But what I want is "test#testauto:~$" not "[\e]0;\u#\h: \w\a]${debian_chroot:+($debian_chroot)}\u#\h:\w$"
How can I get it?

For Bash
echo "${PS1#P}"
For ZSH
echo "${(%%)PS1}"

Error when running this command, i think the command is clear to get the idea.
cp file.txt /folder/*/*/*/file.txt
You need a loop to do that:
for dir in /folder/*/*/*/; do cp file.txt "$dir"; done

alias bp="cat $# > $#.BACK"
My second idea was:
alias bp="cp $#{,.BACK}"
So i want to have a command to backup a file.
It does not raise any error but it simply doesn't work.
Aliases are purely a textual replacement. If you want to use or manipulate the arguments, you need to create a function:
bp () {
for file; do
cp -i "$file" "$file".BACK
done
}
