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 Code:
cp | grep name\ to\ search How do I pipe grep to cp to transfer files based on name? |
