copy under command line

[biotite]

Hi there,
If I would like all txt-type files(*.txt) under a specific partition to be copied into a specific directory(e.g. mnt/a/txt),how could it be done?
It's very simple under Windows series desktop.
But if I am under Unix/linux COMMAND LINE(without x-desktop)?

Maybe you can try
cp ..../*.txt mnt/a/txt

this cannot be done with cp all partition!

You'll need to write a simple script.

First, find out all the *.txt files under a specific directory.
Second, simply copy them.

something like this(DIR is the directory where the partition mounted):

for x in `find DIR |grep .txt`
do
   cp $x /tmp
done


also it made me curious, how "simple" to do this under Windows series desktop？

find / -iname '*.txt' -exec cp {} mnt/a/ \;
