Trying to tar specific files from a directory causes problems when the number of files is too large.

ls ~/logs | wc -l
5928

In the logs directory - I have 5928 files

If I want to include all files with today's date - I run the following command

tar cf ~/archive/LoadLogs_20060302.tar ~/logs/LoadLog_20060302_*.log

However, I get the following error:

/usr/bin/tar: Argument list too long

Any suggestions on how to correct this would be appreciated.

Thanks,

Rick
