find -E . -regex '.*\.txt$' -print0 | xargs -0 tar -cjf result.tbz
When the amount of files is huge then tar will be invoked twice
or more. Thus result.tbz will contain just files from the last invocation.
I consider cpio a better option here.
The use of simple patterns permitted by tar(1) or cpio(1) may be a
good choice in some cases, but we were responding to the OP's wish to
use find(1), which is a bit more flexible. If there were a large
number of files, one could still use find and tar in many cases by
appending to the archive rather than (re)creating it with each tar
invocation, e.g.:
find . -type f -name '*.txt' -print0 | xargs -0 tar -rvf archive.tar
; bzip2 archive.tar
Yes, this would work, of course. Anyway, I prefer to use
"find ... | cpio ... | bzip2 ...".
I just disputed Modulok's solution "find ... | xargs tar -cjf ..."
which wouldn't work in some cases.

Oli
