Subject: HT copy a directory structure, and all files to a single director	y...

All-

Recently Matz and others advised the code below for recursively reading file names in a directory structure. (It works fine.)

Follow up questions:

-- How can I expand this (or use related) code to copy the directory structure and files to a parallel directory where the target directories aren't already there. (Eg, recreate the whole structure in "../dupe_structure".)

-- A slightly different objective here: Assuming all files in the directories have unique names, how can I copy all files to a single target directory. (It seems to me this would involve parsing f somehow to extract just the file name. In the code below, f includes the path too.)

Thanks!

for f in Dir.glob("./**/*")
  File.open(f) { |file|
    puts f
    do_more_stuff_here
  } if File.file?(f)
end
