How to copy files from different subdirs to destination path

[yogesh kumar_2]

Hi

I have common directory /se.Inside /se directory different sub directories are there like file1,file2.Inside file and file2 different subdirectories are there.At the end i have files like .cpp and some other file formats.My problem is that i want to copy the file .cpp and other file formats in to some other path.(my destination path).

I want to check file1 and file2 and backup .ccp file format files in to destination path.

[Sandeep_Chaudhary]

cp -R /se/file1/*.cpp /se/file2/*.cpp /destinationpath

Hi

I have different file formats like .cpp,.isd.I want to copy only modified files like the letter starts with M(capital M)

[Sandeep_Chaudhary]

sorry !!!!!

find /se/file1 -name "*.cpp" |xargs -i cp {} /destination

find /se/file2 -name "*.cpp" |xargs -i cp {} /destination
Try this.

sorry fr my previous reply and not reading question properly

[Sandeep_Chaudhary]

find /se/file1 -name "M*.cpp" |xargs -i cp {} /destination
find /se/file1 -name "M*.cpp" |xargs -i cp {} /destination

is this what u r expecting

Please explain properly.

Sometimes you r asking to copy .cpp and other fromat file also. Sometimes you r saying to copy the files starting from capital M.

Thanks

You can combine the finds:
find /se/file1 /se/file2 \( -name "M*.cpp" -o -name "other-formats" -o ... \) ...

Instead of xargs, you might be able to do:
-exec cp {} /destination +
