set -x showed that, while I am still not sure of the best way to accomplish this, the final vcf.gz that comes from the 001 folder is called variants.vcf.gz. The final vcf.gz that comes from the 002 folder is also called variants.vcf.gz. So unless the files are named differently somehow they are always going to be replaced. Thank you .
Hello cmccabe,
I am sorry, I am confused about your requirement. But by seeing your findcommand I could say you need to copy few files by finding them from one location to another and copy to detination directory, so you could try to change your command with following(not tested though).
It will copy all matched files to destination directory. Please try it and do let us know how it goes then. If your requirement is different then please be more clear and specific in your requirements.
Thanks,
R. Singh
