Using "find"

[job357]

Hi,
I am try to use find to tar all files in my cwd as follows:

find . -name *html -print -exec tar cvf test.tar {} \; 2>/dev/null

I want all files with an html extention as a part of their file name to be in one big tar ball.

Thanks.

Try

tar cvf test.tar `find -name "*.html" -print`
