I've been playing with the find command lately. Is there a way I can pipe the
putput list of files from find, into the tar command to create an archive which
contains the files which find lists? I tried the following, but it didn't work
(obviously).
find -E . '.*\.txt$' -print | tar -cjf

By the way, in reference to the commands above the -j option is for

As for pax, I thought tar could create pax archives too, via the --format
