Hello.
This is the situation :
Directory with many subdirs, I want to delete, mv or cp ( this is not important in that case) all jpg files, I wrote a simple pipe :
find . | grep .jpg | xargs rm
But I have files that containing special chars like space, (, ) and so on, and of course pipe simply doesnt work . I know (on theory) how to escape special chars using \ " and ' but how to do this in my case, in man page of xargs i didnt find option for quoting .
In ABS guide I didnt find similar example.
Please give me an idea which is the "right" way how to proceed in cases such as this .
Thanks.

That works on my system. Substitute rm for mv or cp if you want, but give a destination if that's the case.

edit: if you're using rm, make sure you're in the correct directory first, and be very careful! This is a very efficient way of deleting large numbers of files, very quickly. Probably best to mv the files rather than rm them. So make a directory in home called tmp, and then run:

Thank you very much . It works great .

It's a pleasure
