title: Is it possible to pipe the results of FIND to a COPY command CP?
body: <p>Is it possible to pipe the results of <code>find</code> to a COPY command <code>cp</code>? </p>
  
  <p>Like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>find . -iname "*.SomeExt" | cp Destination Directory
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Seeking, I always find this kind of formula <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/a/18339127/4070433">such as from this post</a>: </p>
  
  <pre><code>find . -name "*.pdf" -type f -exec cp {} ./pdfsfolder \;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This raises some questions:</p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>Why cant you just use <code>|</code> pipe? isn't that what its for?</li>
  <li>Why does everyone recommend the <code>-exec</code></li>
  <li>How do I know when to use that (exec) over pipe <code>|</code>?</li>
  </ol>
