Re^3: Copying files from one directory to another with different subdir

Maybe you can show some examples of what you have as source directory structure and target directory structure and how both source and target are specified. Then we can better advise you on the approach to take.

Re^4: Copying files from one directory to another with different subdir by PiyaPerl (Acolyte) on Sep 19, 2016 at 12:59 UTC
sure... so the source directory is like : /proj/tool/STAGE/<ENV>/<CLIENT>/.xml and the target dir is like: /proj/tool/PROD/<ENV>/<CLIENT> Where in both cases the <ENV> can be something like: Env A,Env B and so on and Client can be Client A and Client B and so on. but ideally the script should be able to copy files from source to target. something like : cp /proj/tool/STAGE/EnvA/ClientA/.xml /proj/tool/PROD/EnvA/ClientA cp /proj/tool/STAGE/EnvA/ClientB/.xml /proj/tool/PROD/EnvA/ClientB cp /proj/tool/STAGE/EnvB/ClientC/.xml /proj/tool/PROD/EnvB/ClientC Let me know if more information is needed.

In which part would, for example, File::Copy::Recursive fail? Just call it for (say) `/proj/tool/STAGE/EnvA/ClientA/` to `/proj/tool/PROD/EnvA/ClientA/` and so on. Also see glob and readdir, where `glob` is the much better approach.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
