Move files from find command

[ahs3ng]

Hey

is there a way to make use of the results from the find command?

ex.
[ root@root files]#find . -name "test*" -mtime -1
./test1.txt
./text5.txt

how do i move the results to other directories? i know can do by bash script, but is there another way to do it?

thanks in advance

I suggest you look into the "-exec" option for find. A quick example:

find . -name '*.bak' -exec mv '{}' backup_dir/ \;

This would move every file found into backup_dir/.
