List,
I've been playing with the find command lately. Is there a way I can pipe the
putput list of files from find, into the tar command to create an archive which
contains the files which find lists? I tried the following, but it didn't work
(obviously).
find -E . '.*\.txt$' -print | tar -cjf result.tgz
Thanks!

Hi Modulok,
As Peter said you could try using the xargs command with find. This
should works as well:
find -E . '.*\.txt$' -print | xargs tar -czf result.tgz
