I have a list of certain files that I see using the command below, but how can I copy those files listed into another folder, say ~/test?
find . -mtime 1 -exec du -hc {} +
Adding to Eric Jablow's answer, here is a possible solution (it worked for me - linux mint 14 /nadia)
find /path/to/search/ -type f -name "glob-to-find-files" | xargs cp -t /target/path/
You can refer to "How can I use xargs to copy files that have spaces and quotes in their names?" as well.
