I need to tar & zip all the files with a <specifc name> in a directory using TCL
in solaris environment.
I tired something like

set abc [exec find . -type f -name *.log* | xargs tar -cvf abc.tar {} \ ]
Can you share the script if anyone has dealt with this requirement?

Thanks

Ooops, sorry for the double post.

Thanks for the reply. I tried this in solaris environment from the shell, it works fine.

But I want execute this whole command

(tar cvf - *.log*|gzip -c >abc.tar.gz) or

(find . -name '*.log*'|xargs tar cvf - |gzip -c >abc.tar.gz)

from TCL environment, something like the following:

set abc [eval exec find . -name '.'|xargs tar cvf - |gzip -c >abc.tar.gz ]


when I execute it form TCL environemt I got "find: bad option tar"

Any idea?

Did you try it without the find?

set abc [eval exec tar cvf - '.'|gzip -c >abc.tar.gz ]
