Hi all,
I want to copy certain perl files from one of my directory to some other
directory The problem is that I do not remember the exact name of file and
also the directory in which it is located so I am using following command
Form my destination folder (say it is /home/bhargav/)
find . -type f -name "create*table*.pl" -ok cp {} \;
But it is giving error of giving destination folder.
I don't know how to give dest. Folder under find command as I think it will
treat it differently.
Please help me to overcome this issue.
