find and copy file using Bash [duplicate]

Question

Anybody has an alternate way of finding and copying files in bash than:

find . -ctime -15 | awk '{print "cp " $1 " ../otherfolder/"}' | sh 

I like this way because it's flexible, as I'm building my command (can by any command) and executing it after.

Are there other ways of streamlining commands to a list of files?

Thanks

Answer 1

I would recommend using find's -exec option:

find . -ctime 15 -exec cp {} ../otherfolder \;

As always, consult the manpage for best results.

Answer 2

I usually use this one:

find . -ctime -15 -exec cp {} ../otherfolder/ \;
