Ant + start copying from one folder inside the source directory

I have a source directory with the following structure.

D:\Files\temporaryname\my_files_to_be_copied

The directory name "temporaryname" may vary from time to time. I need an ant script to copy the files "my_file_to_be_copied" to some other destination.

Simply I need to go one folder inside the source directory and start copying all. Please assist. Thanks in advance.

Lots of ways to do this here's one example, demonstrating filesets and mappers.

Example

├── build.xml
├── build
│   └── destination
│       ├── file1.txt
│       ├── file2.txt
│       ├── file3.txt
│       └── file4.txt
└── src
    ├── dir1
    │   └── my_files_to_be_copied
    │       ├── file1.txt
    │       └── file2.txt
    └── dir2
        └── my_files_to_be_copied
            ├── file3.txt
            └── file4.txt

build.xml

<project name="demo" default="copy">

   <target name="copy" description="Copy files">
      <copy todir="build/destination">
         <fileset dir="src" includes="**/my_files_to_be_copied/**"/>
         <cutdirsmapper dirs="2"/>
      </copy>
   </target>

   <target name="clean" description="Additionally purge ivy cache">
      <delete dir="build"/>
   </target>

</project>
