Question

If I need to have scripts like below:

find -name 'lib*.so' | xargs cp <files> ~/libs/.

Where < files > is the file which I found from the previous find command. Basically i want to pipe the data not just at the end but some where in the middle. (Some thing like $1 ???)

I understand I can have small sh file, where I can have this in a variable and use For loop & use that variable…. But what I want is simple one as I explained above. Where simple tasks can be accomplished easily.

Note: The script above is only a indication of type of Problem and the actual problem.

Let me know if this kind is possible.

I hope I understand what you’re trying to do here…

You can do this using find only.

find -name 'lib*.so' -exec cp {} ~/libs/ \;
