shell - How do I batch copy and rename files with same name in different path? -

i have set of folders, inside each folder have several sub-folders. in each sub folder there file called result.txt need result.txt copied other location renaming result files.

folders:

 abc1  efg1  doc2  ghih 

sub-folders: in aaa1

1.abc1.merged 2.abc1.merged 3.abc1.merged 4.abc1.merged 

in efg1

1.efg1.merged 2.efg1.merged 3.efg1.merged 4.efg1.merged 5.efg1.merged ... ... 

so on of sub-folders contain result.txt in single different folder result files renamed result1.txt,result2.txt etc.

i tried set name of sub-folder variable in shell script , made loop go in sub-folder , copy result.txt other path , rename mv command.but result.txt file 1 subdirectory each copied not all.

i tried following commands:

cp  $folder/$subfolder/resu*txt ../tsv/$newfolder/ 

(i assigned variables)

mv  ../tsv/$newfolder/resu*txt ../tsv/$newfolder/results$tts.txt 

(i defined $tts number of subfolders in folder)

this copied result.txt first sub-folder in each of parent folders.

i like:

i=1 dir in **/*;  # loop through files     cp "$dir"/result.txt $your_path/result$i.txt     ((i++))       # increment variable $i done 

the syntax **/* goes through subdirectories.

test

$ mkdir $ cd $ mkdir a{1..4} $ mkdir a{1..4}/a{1..4} $ f in **/*; echo "$f --"; done 

the last command returns

a1/a1 -- a1/a2 -- ... a4/a4 --
