I just finished restoring some files from a friend's hard disk. All files are now into a folder and I need to transfer some of them.
While it's easy to copy files with a certain extension, I cannot understand how I can copy them using the filenames.
To select files to copy based on the extension, I just use cp *.(extension) /destination/folder/.
To list items based in name, I used
Code:
ls | grep name\ to\ search
I think that it will be something like
Code:
cp | grep name\ to\ search
but where do I specify the destination folder?
How do I pipe grep to cp to transfer files based on name?
