I want to get all the instances of a file in my macosx file system and copy them in a single folder of an external hard disk. I wrote a simple line of code in terminal but when I execute it, there is only a file in the target folder that is replaced at every occurrence it finds. It seems that the $RANDOM or $(uuidgen) used in a single command return only one value used for every occurrence {} of the find command. Is there a way to get a new value for every result of the find command? Thank you.
find . -iname test.txt -exec cp {} /Volumes/EXT/$(uuidgen) \;
or
find . -iname test.txt -exec cp {} /Volumes/EXT/$RANDOM \;
