Help for Copying directory structure recursively

[charith]

I have a directory that contain some .csv files and also some sub directories those contained csv files. I need to copy only my folder structure with csv’s inside child directory without copying perant directory csv’s
(only need to exclude parent directory csv files)
I tried lot with rsync and cp but couldn’t make it please help.

---Sorry for bad explanation.

Try giving us a listing of the directory and file structure and what you wish to copy and what you wish to exclude.

For example, I'll pretend you have this:

dir1/
dir1/file1.csv
dir1/file2.csv
dir1/dir2/new1.csv
dir1/dir2/new2.csv
dir1/dir2/text1.txt
dir1/dir2/test2.txt

Let's say in the above example, you want to copy dir1/dir2/new*.csv, but not copy the files in dir1/file*.csv, nor the text files in dir1/dir2, and you wanted to retain the full directory structure (dir1/dir2) when copying to the new location (let's say /newdir). You could use a combination of find and install to do it, e.g.:

find dir1/ -type f -name '*.csv' -exec install -Dv {} ./newdir/{} \;

Again, this is probably not exactly what you are looking for, but share more details and we'll try to help you get there.
