Bash selective copy folders and content to another location
I'm looking for a bash scrypt to copy some folders and some of the content to another location. I'm a teacher and very noobish with programming language anyway what I'm looking for , I have this director structure
Main director "Students" with subfolders "john";"daisy";"work" etc .. and some of the folders contain a specific file for example "exam.dat" , I need a scrypt that will check every folder in students for the file "exam.dat" and copy that folder and this file to another location, without copying other files inside folders or folders that doesn't contain exam.dat.
Hope I'm explicit enough. Thank you in advance

zmq_msg_copy
ZMQ_MSG_COPY(3) 0MQ Manual ZMQ_MSG_COPY(3)
NAME
zmq_msg_copy - copy content of a message to another message
SYNOPSIS
int zmq_msg_copy (zmq_msg_t *dest, zmq_msg_t *src);
DESCRIPTION
The zmq_msg_copy() function shall copy the message object referenced by src to the message object referenced by dest. The original content
of dest, if any, shall be released.
Caution
The implementation may choose not to physically copy the message content, rather to share the underlying buffer between src and dest.
Avoid modifying message content after a message has been copied with zmq_msg_copy(), doing so can result in undefined behaviour. If
what you need is an actual hard copy, allocate a new message using zmq_msg_init_size() and copy the message content using memcpy().
Caution
Never access zmq_msg_t members directly, instead always use the zmq_msg family of functions.
RETURN VALUE
The zmq_msg_copy() function shall return zero if successful. Otherwise it shall return -1 and set errno to one of the values defined below.
ERRORS
EFAULT
Invalid message.
