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!

NAME
bsnes-purify - Tool for preparing ROMs for usage with bsnes SYNOPSIS
bsnes-purify scan source-dir output-file bsnes-purify output source-dir target-dir DESCRIPTION
bsnes can not open all ROMs. For example SNES ROMs have to be without copier headers and with the filename extension .sfc. Recent versions of bsnes support games to be arranged in cartridge folders (see below). bsnes 0.089 and later will only support cartridge folders. bsnes-purify searches a directory for ROMs and performs an action on them. It also finds ROMs contained in .zip files. bsnes-purify scan writes a list of the found ROMs together with their SHA256 checksums and sizes to a file. bsnes-purify output creates for each found ROM a cartridge folder with the files program.rom and and manifest.xml in the target directory. If the original ROM was a headered SNES ROM, program.rom will be the same, but without the header. CARDRIDGE FOLDERS
Cartridge folders are intendended to contain all data belonging to a game. The name of a cartridge folder has to end with one of the file- name extensions sfc, fc, gb, gbb, gbc or gba, depending on the system the game is for. The user has to make sure that the following files exist program.rom the game ROM manifest.xml Additional data about the cartridge, generated by bsnes-purify. Sometimes bsnes-purify can't guess all the information for this file and it has to be edited manually. dsp1.rom, dsp1b.rom, dsp2.rom, dsp3.rom, dsp4.rom, st010.rom, st011.rom, st018.rom or cx4.rom Some SNES games have pre-programmed coprocessors (DSPs) built into their cartridges. For these games, the required DSP programs also need to be in the cartridge folders. bsnes itself also writes files to cartridge folders, for example the data that would be saved to RAM in real cartridges to save progress, or bsnes specific save states.
