xargs cp

Inter_1 — Fri, 13 Apr 2007 10:33:04 GMT

Hi,

I want to cp a set of files.
I issue the command like this:
ls -ltr /apps/logs/ | grep -i stdout.log | xrags cp /apps/logs/{} /home/z15/logs/

I want to copy only the set of files that is as output of this command:
ls -ltr /apps/logs/ | grep -i stdout.log

Thanks
Andy

Hi Andy:

Why use 'ls'?

How about:

# find /apps/logs -type f -name stdout.log | xargs -i cp {} /home/z15logs

Regards!

Use the pipeline below instead of the one in my last post:

# ls -1 /apps/logs | xargs grep -il stdout.log | xargs -i cp {} /home/z15/logs/
