Construct path
Hi,

I need to construct the below path from the two available directory path,

O/P
Code:
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/HTML
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/JSP
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/CSS

Path:1
------
Code:
/home/data/test/run/

Path:2
------
Code:
/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/HTML
/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/JSP
/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/CSS

Copy the directory from '/ht' till the end directory and paste to '/home/data/test/run/'

Sorry, I'm not really getting the purpose of your request?
Is it this what you want?
Code:
cd /home/data/test/run
mkdir -p ht/WEB/{HTML,JSP,CSS}

Code:
$ echo "/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/HTML
/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/JSP
/home/data/share/app/01/lang/ht/WEB/CSS" | sed 's:^.*/lang/:/home/data/test/run/:'
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/HTML
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/JSP
/home/data/test/run/ht/WEB/CSS
