Copy files into another directory

I have a folder will a lot of documents (pdf, xls, doc etc.) which users have uploaded but only 20% of them are currently linking from my html files. So my goal is to copy only the files which are linked in my html files from my Document directory into another directory.

Eg: My documents exist in /web/Documents (with sub-folders) and my html files exist in /web/html

My users were kind to me Smilie and made sure that they did both absolute linking and relative linking meaning they used <a href="Documents/***.doc"> and <a href="http://xxx.com/Documents/***.doc">

And of course not everyone was case-sensitive when linking.

Can someone help me in figuring out how do I accomplish this.

Thanks in advance.

I am able to get a huge list of all the links (irrelevant of whether they are within the domain or not) by using

perl -nle 'print " $&" if /(?<=href=")[^">]+/' *.html

This gives me a list of all my links within the folder.
eg:
Documents/....
mailto:
external website links
xxxx.html (other html documents within the domain)


How do I go further from here...

I need to copy about 13 Tb of data from one directory and subdirectories to the other (another mount point).

MAILDIRKW(1)						      Double Precision, Inc.						      MAILDIRKW(1)

NAME
maildirkw - set maildir message keywords SYNOPSIS
maildirkw [-c] [-l] [-a] [-r] {maildir} {message} [keyword...] maildirkw [-c] {-L} {maildir} DESCRIPTION
maildirkw modifies the Courier IMAP server compatible maildir message keywords. This command allows an easy way to set or clear custom IMAP keywords associated with a particular message. maildir is the pathname to a maildir, or a maildir folder. The -L option lists all messages in the maildir, and their associated keywords. message specified which message's keywords should be set. One or more keywords specifies a list of keywords to be set for this message. The specified list of keywords replaces any keywords presently set for the message, unless the -a or the -r option is specified. The -a option adds the keyword to existing keywords that are set for message. The -r removes keywords from message, leaving any remaining keywords set in place. The -l should be used if the Courier IMAP server's configuration file has the IMAP_USELOCKS option set. -l enables a compatible locking mechanism to update the message's keywords. -c enables case-sensitive keywords. IMAP keywords are normally case insensitive. -c needs to be used if the SMAP1[1] protocol extension is used, which uses case sensitive keywords. SEE ALSO
