To only pack a selection of files ending with *txt* you can pass a list of file names via STDIN: 

    find * | grep "txt$" | pastiepacker

It outputs the url of the prepared pastie, so you can pipe it to xargs:

    pastiepacker | xargs open

To unpack a packed pastie: pastiepacker http://pastie.caboo.se/175183
- This unpacks the files into a subfolder 175138/
To unpack a private pastie: pastiepacker http://pastie.caboo.se/private/5hwfheniddqmyasmfcxaw
