This is going to be a "doh!" question, I'm sure. I needed to copy a bunch of files from a directory tree -- but only selected files (say all regular files that end in .foo). I want the destination tree to be created. find(1) is what I find most useful for specifying what files to match the files I want to move -- but I can't seem to get a good xargs command to get the files in the destination (ie create the dir if doesn't exist and copy the file).
rsync would also be good, but I can't get the --exclude and --include options to work, either. I used brute force and used find to generate the list of files, then tar with --files-from option and then untarred in the destination. Now I'm feeling dumb. There must be a one-liner to do this. -- Bill Moseley [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
