This is a little helper named ncopy. It copies files from one place to another.
Syntax:
ncopy <files(s)> <target>
<files(s)> is just a filename (wildcards possible) and <target> is an expression for the target of the copy operation. So far there is nothing new. Here comes the interesting part:
In the target expression you can use the following to refer to parts of the source path and name:
*0 first directory after root
*1 second directory after root
...
*-1 first directory above sourcefile
*-2 second directory above sourcefile
...
*n name of the sourcefile
*s0 first suffix of the sourcefile
*s1 second suffix oft the sourcefile
So given the files a.txt and b.txt in c:\temp\foo\bar" and calling the script:
C:\temp\foo\bar>ncopy.pl *.txt .\*1\*n\*-1\t.*s0
mkpath C:\temp\foo\bar\foo\a\bar
a.txt -> C:\temp\foo\bar\foo\a\bar\t.txt
mkpath C:\temp\foo\bar\foo\b\bar
b.txt -> C:\temp\foo\bar\foo\b\bar\t.txt
As you can see you can easily transform file names while copying.
It's only tested under Windows, but should be cross platform.

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
