Re: move files using find

[David Henderson]

Nevermind.  I ended up figuring it out.  Granted it's not for BB, but
just as a follow-up if anyone comes across this thread they will have
what I came up with:

find /tmp/test -type f \( -name \*.typelib -o -name \*.gir \) -exec
/bin/sh -c 'TEMP="${1#*/}"; mkdir -p "${0}/${TEMP%/*}" 2>/dev/null; mv
-- "$1" "${0}/${TEMP%/*}"' "/tmp/test.gir" {} \;

This preserves the path when finding/copying files from a source to a
destination.

Oops!  It does appear that I was using GNU find, not BB.  Sorry about
that.  Any thoughts on how this can be done without execdir then using
BB find?

Thanks,

I'm getting

find: unrecognized: -execdir

as expected, since bbox knows nothing about find -execdir.
