Move files & folder structure
Hey, this might be a really basic question, but I'm new to Unix scripting.
I'm trying to find a command to replicate a file structure from one location to another & move the actual files contained in the base directories, i.e. I have this structure -
home/temp/test/dir1/
File1.txt
File2.txt
File3.txt
/dir2/
File4.txt
File5.txt
/home/temp/work/
/home/temp/complete/
I want to replicate the file structure under 'home/temp/test/' in 'home/temp/work/' & 'home/temp/complete/', then move the files into the new file structure, so after running the script I want to have this structure -
home/temp/test/dir1/
/dir2/
/home/temp/work/dir1/
File1.txt
File2.txt
File3.txt
/dir2/
File4.txt
File5.txt
/home/temp/complete/dir1/
File1.txt
File2.txt
File3.txt
/dir2/
File4.txt
File5.txt
I hope that's clear, thanks for any help!

mail::message::construct::text
Mail::Message::Construct::Text(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Mail::Message::Construct::Text(3pm)
NAME
Mail::Message::Construct::Text - capture a Mail::Message as text
SYNOPSIS
my $text = $msg->string;
my $text = "$msg"; # via overload
my @text = $msg->lines;
my @text = @$lines; # via overload
my $fh = $msg->file;
my $line = <$fh>;
$msg->printStructure;
DESCRIPTION
Complex functionality on Mail::Message objects is implemented in different files which are autoloaded. This file implements the
functionality related to creating message replies.
METHODS
The whole message as text
$obj->file()
Returns the message as file-handle.
$obj->lines()
Returns the whole message as set of lines. In LIST context, copies of the lines are returned. In SCALAR context, a reference to an
array of lines is returned.
$obj->printStructure([FILEHANDLE|undef],[INDENT])
Print the structure of a message to the specified FILEHANDLE or the selected filehandle. When explicitly "undef" is specified as
handle, then the output will be returned as string.
The message's subject and the types of all composing parts are displayed.
INDENT specifies the initial indentation string: it is added in front of each line. The INDENT must contain at least one white-space.
example:
my $msg = ...;
$msg->printStructure(*OUTPUT);
$msg->printStructure;
my $struct = $msg->printStructure(undef);
# Possible output for one message:
multipart/mixed: forwarded message from Pietje Puk (1550 bytes)
text/plain (164 bytes)
message/rfc822 (1043 bytes)
multipart/alternative: A multipart alternative (942 bytes)
text/plain (148 bytes, deleted)
text/html (358 bytes)
$obj->string()
Returns the whole message as string.
