Hopefully, this should be an easy question for the experienced.
I have a list of folders (x1,x2, ..., xn) in a folder called "origin" (i.e. /origin/x1, /origin/x2 etc).
I want to take a particular file (im1.tif in my case) from each folder x1,x2, ..., xn in /origin and copy it to a folder in a destination folder called 'dest', which has the same name (i.e. /dest/x1, /dest/x2 etc).
Could someone help me with this?
Thank you!
