Copy certain file types recursively while maintaining file structure on destination?
Hi guys,
I have just been bothered by a fairly small issue for some time now. I am trying to search (using find -name) for some .jpg files recursively. This is a Redhat environment with bash.
I get this job done though I need to copy ALL of them and put them in a separate folder BUT I also need to keep the order intact after copying.
For e.g - If I get a JPG file under /home/usr/new/1/ then the destination also needs to be /test/old/new/1/.
At the moment, I am simply putting all files under /test/old/ and I can't somehow get the later /new/1/ folder path created under /test/old/
I understand this could well be done using while OR if else loop, though if someone can just guide me with a hint, I would be really grateful.
I will complete the rest of the steps and was asking here since I am still not comfortable with the shell/bash scripts yet and planning to be really good at it over the next couple of months.
Cheers,
Andrew

svn-clean
SVN-CLEAN(1) User Commands SVN-CLEAN(1)
NAME
svn-clean - Wipes out unversioned files from Subversion working copy
SYNOPSIS
svn-clean [options] [directory or file ...]
DESCRIPTION
svn-clean will scan the given files and directories recursively and find unversioned files and directories (files and directories that are
not present in the Subversion repository). After the scan is done, these files and directories will be deleted. Files which match patterns
in the svn-clean:ignore dir property will be spared, much as the svn:ignore property works for svn status.
If no file or directory is given, svn-clean defaults to the current directory (".").
svn-clean uses the SVN Perl modules if they are available. This is much faster than parsing the output of the svn command-line client.
OPTIONS
-e, --exclude
A regular expression for filenames to be exluded. For example, the following command will skip files ending in ".zip":
svn-clean --exclude '.zip$'
Multiple exclude patterns can be specified. If at least one matches, then the file is skipped. For example, the following command
will skip files ending in ".jpg" or ".png":
svn-clean --exclude '.jpg$' --exclude '.png$'
The following command will skip the entire "build" subdirectory:
svn-clean --exclude '^build(/|$)'
-f, --force
Files to which you do not have delete access (if running under VMS) or write access (if running under another OS) will not be
deleted unless you use this option.
-N, --non-recursive
Do not search recursively for unversioned files and directories. Unversioned directories will still be deleted along with all their
contents.
-q, --quiet
Do not print progress info. In particular, do not print a message each time a file is examined, giving the name of the file, and
indicating whether "rmdir" or "unlink" is used to remove it, or that it's skipped.
-p, --print
Do not delete anything. Instead, print the name of every file and directory that would have been deleted.
-?, -h, --help
Prints a brief help message and exits.
--man Prints the manual page and exits.
