copy probs

need help....just wanna copy all files with no extensions but with tree-informations to one dir

first I make a new directory with all foldertrees...like

find / -name "*" -type d >a1
sed -e 's/^/new/g' <a1 >b1
mkdir -p `cat a1`

then I wanna copy all specific files with no extensions(!)..like

cd /temp
find / -name "*" -type f >a2
grep -v "\.TMP$" a2 >b2
grep -v "\.Z$" b2 >a2
grep -v "\.gz$" a2 >b2
.....and so on, then...

sed -e 's/^/new/g' <b2 >c2
mv c2 /
cd
for i in `cat b2`
do
cp -pf $i `cat c2`
done
....
this loop isn't working.

[no such directory....but the directory is there!]

also it is possible to make easily....
cp /dasdöadk/fsldfjsdfö/sdfsdf (is a file!) /dasddsss/reww/sdfs (also a file!) ...but the loop can't it .

but cp -pf $i /temp works - but without the subfolders.....

Smilie

how to solve this ?

--------------------------

to say it more easier....just like copy files by a loop, for example...users/123/abc (is a file) to new/users/123/abc (also file)

NAME
cp, cpdir - file copy SYNOPSIS
cp [-pifsmrRvx] file1 file2 cp [-pifsrRvx] file ... directory cpdir [-ifvx] file1 file2 OPTIONS
-p Preserve full mode, uid, gid and times -i Ask before removing existing file -f Forced remove existing file -s Make similar, copy some attributes -m Merge trees, disable the into-a-directory trick -r Copy directory trees with link structure, etc. intact -R Copy directory trees and treat special files as ordinary -v Display what cp is doing -x Do not cross device boundaries EXAMPLES
cp oldfile newfile # Copy oldfile to newfile cp -R dir1 dir2 # Copy a directory tree DESCRIPTION
Cp copies one file to another, or copies one or more files to a directory. Special files are normally opened and read, unless -r is used. -r also copies the link structure, something -R doesn't care about. The -s option differs from -p that it only copies the times if the target file already exists. A normal copy only copies the mode of the file, with the file creation mask applied. Set-uid bits are cleared if the owner cannot be set. (The -s flag does not patronize you by clearing bits. Alas -s and -r are nonstandard.) Cpdir is a convenient synonym for cp -psmr to make a precise copy of a directory tree. SEE ALSO
cat(1), mkdir(1), rmdir(1), ln(1), rm(1). CP(1)
