As part of a script Im designing, I am required to allow the command line to finish off part of a series of sub-directory entries.

Basically what I want to do is


cp /root/parent/part of subs name + other part of subs name/file /other_root/other_parent/other_sub/file


without facing any problems, however Im having difficulty trying to find an automated way to add on other part of subs name in order to complete the sub-directory name of the source.

If anyone could please give me some pointers, that would be highly appreciated
