Renaming files with part of their pathname and copying them to new directory
Hi
I think this should be relatively simple but I can't figure it out. I have several files with the same name in different folders within a directory (the output of a program that I ran). Something like this:
./myAnalysis/item1/round1/myoutput.txt
./myAnalysis/item1/round2/myoutput.txt
./myAnalysis/item2/round1/myoutput.txt
./myAnalysis/item2/round2/myoutput.txt
I would like to search the myAnalysis directory for all the myoutput.txt files, rename them to include the item and round number from their pathnames and then COPY them to another directory (e.g. leaving the original files/structure intact as that in turn is configured for input into another program).
so I want a new folder with the following files
./newFolder/item1_round1_myoutput.txt
./newFolder/item1_round2_myoutput.txt
./newFolder/item2_round1_myoutput.txt
./newFolder/item2_round2_myoutput.txt
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

gtans(6) Games Manual gtans(6)
NAME
gtans - Tangram game for X
SYNOPSIS
gtans [no options]
DESCRIPTION
Gtans is a tangram game that runs in X. Tangram is a kind of puzzle game where the player has to arrange a set of pieces to match a given
shape.
OPTIONS
No command-line options
Use the graphical interface to customize the program. See below.
USAGE
move the pieces (known as tans) until they match the figure drawn on the right window. You must always use the seven tans and they should
not be laid on top of one another.
To move a tan, click and drag it with left mouse button, for rotation click AROUND it. You can flip the selected tan by right-clicking.
This is usefull for the parallelogram tan (all positions can not be reached by rotating only).
If you are a beginner to Tangram you should try the first 10 figures. The other ones are not sorted, some of them are very difficult (to
my taste).
When a figure has been solved the background color of the silhouette area changes. The solved figures are remembered by saving a status
file in the user's directory (~/.gtans/afile.figures.status for a figure file called afile.figures)
Show a tan This button shows the position of a tan. Each further click will display an other tan.
Show outline Draw the figure in the main area. This makes the game much easier.
Preferences Most of this menu's options allow you to change the colors used by the game. For the main area you may choose textures (pixmap
files) instead of colors. Some sample files are supplied (I can't remember where I found them) but as the complete pathname is saved in the
config file you can choose a file located anywhere (for example in /usr/share/pixmaps/). On a 8 bits display the colors may not be exactly
what you want (GTK tries to find the best matching color).
Preferences/Tans size/Increase Makes the tans 5 % bigger relatively to the game area. If you resize the window the tans size will be
scaled.
Preferences/Tans size/Decrease Makes the tans 4.76 % smaller
Preferences/Accuracy Changes the precision of the comparison between the tans position and the solution. A lower accuracy makes the game
more easy.
Preferences/Rotation Step by step allows only rotation by increment of 11.5 degrees. Continuous rotation makes the game more difficult and
you probably shouldn't use it unless you really dislike step by step rotation.
Preferences/Figures file Allows you to choose another figures file.
Preferences/Save config Save a config file in the user's home directory.
Misc/Clear figure status Set the current figure as unsolved.
Misc/Clear all figures status Set all the loaded figures (i.e. from the current figure file) as unsolved.
FILES
~/.gtans/.gtansrc Configuration options for gtans. All of these options can be set from the interface, there should be no
need to edit this file.
~/.gtans/somename.figures.status Status files (for each figures file the user played with) remenbering which figures where
solved.
