Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers find -size -7M finds files, but won't cp them all Post 302483129 by NoWiz on Friday 24th of December 2010 12:00:01 AM

I'd guess the 'cp' command may only accept up to a certain number of arguments, and the full list of files exceeds that number ... if I recall correctly (no guarantee) the -exec option causes the full list to be presented to the command it invokes ... though I'd expect it would provide an error message about too many arguments ... what OS & 'cp' version are you working with?

GROG(1) 						      General Commands Manual							   GROG(1)

NAME
grog - guess options for groff command SYNOPSIS
grog [ -option ... ] [ files ... ] DESCRIPTION
grog reads files and guesses which of the groff(1) options -e, -man, -me, -mm, -mom, -ms, -mdoc, -mdoc-old, -p, -R, -g, -G, -s, and -t are required for printing files, and prints the groff command including those options on the standard output. A filename of - is taken to refer to the standard input. If no files are specified the standard input will be read. Any specified options will be included in the printed command. No space is allowed between options and their arguments. The only options recognized are -C (which is also passed on) to enable compatibility mode, and -v to print the version number. For example, `grog -Tdvi paper.ms` will guess the appropriate command to print paper.ms and then run it after adding the -Tdvi option. SEE ALSO
doctype(1), groff(1), troff(1), tbl(1), pic(1), eqn(1), refer(1), grn(1), grap(1), soelim(1) Groff Version 1.18.1 06 June 2002 GROG(1)
