Single line backups with find or cat and xargs, etc
Hi, I'm new here and this is my first post. I used command line Unix at work for 3 years... about 10 years ago! Now I can't figure out nor hunt down examples of how to do the following:
Say I built a list of file to backup like this:
So I am using find with a redirection operator to a plain text file. Now I want to say... cat that file and pipe it to xargs using the cp command to copy them all to a single directory so I can tar them into a tar ball... but I am screwing it up!!
then I want to do something like:
Several things going on here... trying to find to build a list to use to create a tar archive... more or less. And hey, if there is an easier/smarter way to do it, Thank you all! (I figure it can be done in 1 line at the shell prompt... but hey I am re-acquiring skills here!)

io::async::protocol::linestream
IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream(3pm)NAME
"IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream" - stream-based protocols using lines of text
SYNOPSIS
Most likely this class will be subclassed to implement a particular network protocol.
package Net::Async::HelloWorld;
use strict;
use warnings;
use base qw( IO::Async::Protocol::LineStream );
sub on_read_line
{
my $self = shift;
my ( $line ) = @_;
if( $line =~ m/^HELLO (.*)/ ) {
my $name = $1;
$self->invoke_event( on_hello => $name );
}
}
sub send_hello
{
my $self = shift;
my ( $name ) = @_;
$self->write_line( "HELLO $name" );
}
This small example elides such details as error handling, which a real protocol implementation would be likely to contain.
DESCRIPTION EVENTS
The following events are invoked, either using subclass methods or CODE references in parameters:
on_read_line $line
Invoked when a new complete line of input is received.
PARAMETERS
The following named parameters may be passed to "new" or "configure":
on_read_line => CODE
CODE reference for the "on_read_line" event.
METHODS
$lineprotocol->write_line( $text )
Writes a line of text to the transport stream. The text will have the end-of-line marker appended to it; $text should not end with it.
