The simplest way I know of is using the find command. Find command has a -exec
option for directing the execution of a command on the find 'list' and looks
something like this:
find ./ -name test\* -exec cp {} /home/kevin/test/me \;
this is to find all of the commands with "test" in the name and copy to a
directory.
The syntax can be a little tricky but I have seen this command used a lot in
cases just like yours.
