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.
