Thanks NYankz for your quick reply but I didn't get it & also didn't work.Can you please let me know what are you doing there.

And, here is what I have done.

Code:
origloc=/original/path/location
destloc=/destination/path/location
cd ${origloc}
find . -type f -name "*.log" | \
while read file
do
   destdir=${destloc}/`dirname ${file}`
   destfile=`basename ${file}`_OK
   [ ! -d ${destdir} ] && mkdir ${destdir}
   cp ${file} ${destdir}/${destfile}
   cat ${destdir}/${destfile} | tr -d '\n' >> ${destdir}/merged.txt
   rm -rf ${destdir}/${destfile}
   done


It works fine merging all the log files in each directory to a single one called merged.txt & then removing those files. But now, I am again stuck with other problem.
The above script looks into each directory and merges the files but how to check only for certain subdirectories and not all of them.

e.g. root has 9 subdir with names like subdir-1-subdir-9.I want to do this only for subdir 2,4,6.How should I go for that.

I'll like if soemone posts different view on my original problem so that I can learn soemthing new.

Thanks

LEARN ABOUT DEBIAN

dh_builddeb

DH_BUILDDEB(1)							     Debhelper							    DH_BUILDDEB(1)

NAME

       dh_builddeb - build Debian binary packages

SYNOPSIS

       dh_builddeb [debhelperoptions] [--destdir=directory] [--filename=name] [--params]

DESCRIPTION

       dh_builddeb simply calls dpkg-deb(1) to build a Debian package or packages.

       It supports building multiple binary packages in parallel, when enabled by DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS.

OPTIONS

       --destdir=directory
	   Use this if you want the generated .deb files to be put in a directory other than the default of "..".

       --filename=name
	   Use this if you want to force the generated .deb file to have a particular file name. Does not work well if more than one .deb is
	   generated!

       -- params
	   Pass params to dpkg-deb(1) when it is used to build the package.

       -uparams
	   This is another way to pass params to dpkg-deb(1).  It is deprecated; use -- instead.

SEE ALSO

       debhelper(7)

       This program is a part of debhelper.
