There must be tons of examples in this forum on magical ideas to use xargs. I don't think any tutorial can be richer than a whole forum with live situations.

I figure you already read man xargs, right?

Search the forum then:

1. Click the "Search" menu
2. Go for Advanced Search
3. Enter "xargs" as keywords
4.Change "Show Results as" to "Posts"

There are lots of xargs usages there.

look for a variable only in my python scripts:
