copy all files with jpg/jpeg extension in specific sub categories to single directory

Question

I have a directory structure as below

• product_images
  • product1
    • LR
      • low res images here
    • HR
      • high res images here
  • product2
    • LR
      • low res images here
    • HR
      • high res images here
  • product3
    • LR
      • low res images here
    • HR
      • high res images here

I want to copy all images with extension jpg/jpeg in the HR folders to a single directory.

I tried to modify find . -type f \( -iname "*.jpg" -o -iname "*.jpeg" \) -exec cp '{}' /cpjpg \; but nothing seems to be working.

Answer 1

You could do:

find . -type f -ipath "*/HR/*.jp*g" -exec cp -i {} /cpjpg \;

I used cp -i to not automatically overwrite existing files.
