When I issue a command such as:
tar zcvf /var/tmp/SomeArchive.tgz `find . -iname '*pdf' -type f`
and it encounters a filename such as ./My Documents/SomeFile.pdf
The results are:
tar: ./My: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
tar: Documents/SomeFile.pdf: Cannot stat: No such file or directory
Use for example:
find . -iname '*pdf' -type f \
| tar zcvf /var/tmp/SomeArchive.tgz --files-from=- --verbatim-files-from
This assumes that no filename contains a linefeed.
find . -iname '*pdf' -type f -print0 \
| tar zcvf /var/tmp/SomeArchive.tgz --null --files-from=-
The "--null" option tells tar to use the ASCII NUL character as a
separator and assumes "verbatim".
