Shell Programming and Scripting

Code:

find /var/root/Applications/*/fooBar/Documents  -type f -name "*.rar" -exec cp -n -p -t {}  /to/my/directory/ \;

No bash or ksh, do you have dirname:

Code:

for dir in /var/root/Applications/*/fooBar
do
    dir=`dirname $dir`
    [ -d "$dir/Documents" ] && find "$dir"/Documents -type f -name "*.rar"
done | xargs cp -n -p -t /to/my/directory/

@rdcwayx see post #5, also -t option of cp specifies the target directory

Documents is not a directory of fooBar. It's located in the same directory as fooBar. The reason I search for fooBar and not directory is because it is unique as all applications in the /var/root/Applications folder contain a Documents folder. I need to find the folder that has fooBar in it, then go to the folder named Documents which is also in it. Then I need to copy files from it once I've found it

I've used dirname before so yes that is present. I will test this later Chubler thank you as always man.
