Thanks Juraj for the quick response.

I am receiving duplicate name:

/usr/share/boost-build/build/virtual-target.jam:1032: in virtual-target.register-actual-name from module virtual-target
error: Duplicate name of actual target: <pdist/release/tests/unit1>testresult.txt
error: previous virtual target { common%common.copy-testresult.txt. { tests/unit1/100/testresult.txt. } }
error: created from ./testcopy
error: another virtual target { common%common.copy-testresult.txt. { tests/unit1/200/testresult.txt. } }
error: created from ./testcopy
error: added properties: none
error: removed properties: none

Is there a way to get around this?

thanks,

cleo

You can use lower level path.glob-tree

import path ;

install dataToCopy
:
    [ path.glob-tree /path/aaa : *.* ]
:
    <location>/destination/path/
;
