You could try:

find -name '*.C' -user username -exec cp '{}' destdir ';'

[gentoo-user] [OT] find list of files and then copy them

[Marco Calviani]

Hi list,
   i know this is OT for this list, but it deals in general with linux.
I need to search and copy a list of files that end with a particular
extension and belong to a certain user: i've managed this part with

find -name "*.C" -user username

now i would like only these files copied to a certain directory.

How is it possible to accomplish this?

Thanks in advance,
MC
