I want to copy all of my C code in one directory hierarchy
into one compressed file. Excepting those with a name containing
"chart".

This is how I began:

find . -name "*.c" |grep -v "chart" |
{
while IFS='
' read file
do

At this point, I imagine that I would add one file at a time
in the loop to tar and then when the loop finishes, gzip the tar file.
But I'm unsure about how to proceed.

thanks.

How to append arguments to commands from data that you get from
standard input see: man xargs

If your tar supports "--exclude=" then

tar -vczf /path/to/save.tar.gz --exclude='*chart*' *.c

[...]

find . -name '*.c' ! -name '*chart*' -type f |
pax -w | compress > x.tar.Z

Thanks -- this would be perfect except that it only tarred and gzipped
one file that it found in the current directory and not all the files
from the entire hierarchy (which there are many). I used it exactly
as specified except, of course, the path to the output file.
