How to include only certain files?

[Peng Yu]

Hi,

There is --exclude option. For example,

I can use the following command to exclude *.exe files. But if I only
want *.exe files, how to do it?

tar cjvf abc.tar.bz2 abc --exclude={*.exe}

Regards,
Peng

Use find:

  find . -name '*.exe' | tar -cjvf abc.tar.bz2 -T - --no-recursion
