Copy files (of specific extension) from a folder structure to another folder
I am confused to how to copy a specific type of files from a folder structure to simply a folder on a Linux machine.
This is how the source folder structure is:
Folder_X
file1.type
file2.nottype
- Folder_Y
file3.type
file4.nottype
- Folder_P
file5.type
file6.nottype
- Folder_A
file7.type
file8.nottype
- Folder_Z
file9.type
file10.nottype
So when I do find . -iname "*.type" in Folder_X, I get the following output:
./file1.type
./Folder_Y/file3.type
./Folder_Y/Folder_P/file5.type
./Folder_Y/Folder_P/Folder_A/file7.type
./Folder_Z/file9.type
I want to copy these .type extension files to another location in a single folder as this:
/some/another/location/Folder_I
file1.type
file3.type
file5.type
file7.type
file9.type
