How would I move
Code:
subj_1/session_1/AAA/sample.txt
subj_1/session_1/AAA/test.txt

from
~/home/study1
to
~/data/study1
Does ~/data/study1/subj_1 exist?

Are there any files in and under ~/home/study1/subj_1 that you don't want to move to ~/data/study1?

If you want to move (not copy) the files, and the answer to both questions above is "no", try:
Code:
mv ~/home/study1/subj_1 ~/data/study1/
