I'm looking at excluding files from a directory to be copied to another disk.
I cannot work out how to pipe the list of files into a cp command.
eg
find / -name 'fred*.xml' | cp - /home/fred/fredbackup
bad example but the gist is the the - is a placeholder for the piped
list of file names. Is there an easy way to do this with some obscure
linux/unix syntax {}/\@ perhaps?
