Linux - How can I copy files of the same extension located in several subdirectories into a single directly?
bash, csh, linux, python
Solution
something like
find /path/to/src -name "*.nr" -exec cp \{\} /path/to/dest \;
Problem
I have a folder which has many subdirectories, each with a `*.nr` file in them. There are 1000 subdirectories, each containing at least one `*.nr` file. Is there a quick way to copy all those `*.nr` files into a single directory? I can write a quick `python` script to iterate through the files, but this seems like overkill if there is a quick command line based way to do it. I've been googling, but I'm not sure what exact terms I should be googling. Thanks!
