Shell Programming and Scripting

I did ,and then ask again

Code:

find ./ -name "*.csh" -size 10 | xargs cp ./
find ./ -name "*.csh" -size 1 -exec cp ./tova.bac {} \

Thanks

tova.bac is the directory name? And it's a subdirectory of the directory you are currently in? If not that won't work. You need a semicolon ; after that last back slash. \;

I tried this to but didnt work
nova is directory

Code:

 
find ./ -name "*.csh" -size 1 | xargs cp ./nova

Is nova a subdirectory of the directory you're currently in? The period means "in the directory I'm currently in". So "./nova" means nova is a subdirectory of the directory your shell prompt is currently in. You can find your current directory by typing 'pwd' at the prompt. Might want to specify the full path of the destination directory...

I am trying this nova is subdirectory to the directory I am in
it prints
cp: Insufficient arguments (1)

Code:

 
find ./ -name "*.csh" -size 1 -exec cp ./nova {}\;

Code:

find . -type f -name "*.csh" | xargs cp ./nova

Does this work for you?

Another question ,how can I add to all files in sertain directory extention to the name file1,file2
file1.exe,file2.exe
I tried this but it doesn work

Code:
