find files and copy them

[mister_v]

hi

I would like to use the result of a find command into a copy command
find -iname *.xlsx
and then cp * to dir/


does anyone know how to do this?

The easiest way (and because it also copies files with spaces in the name) is:

Code: Select all

find -iname *.xlsx -exec cp '{}' dir/ \;

It is an option of find,
for more info check man find
