This should work.
find filename | grep filename > /dir/filename

hi.,

Using find with the -exec flag is a convenient way to copy, move, print, and even delete groups of files that may be scattered across many different directories. A word of caution, though: If you're going to apply some potentially dangerous command (like rm) to your files, use the -ok flag instead of -exec. It works the same way, except it prompts you to confirm each command before executing it. Here's an example:


find . -name "*.txt" -ok mv {} junkdir \;
mv sample1.txt junkdir ok? (y/n)
mv sample2.txt junkdir ok? (y/n)
