I did quite a bit of searching before asking this! (Even so I'm expecting to have a duplicate pointed out).
So I collect a bunch of files, e.g.:
find . -name "2020-*"
... is there some way to "pipe" all these files into a .7z archive? (NB I realise "pipe" may not be the right word as the operation I want is in fact a file-copy operation).
I've tried things like:
find . -name "2020-*" | 7z a -p pumple.7z
... this gives me ">" on the next line, as though it's expecting some console input.
So does the following:
find . -name "2020-* > 7z a -p pumple.7z
