recreating folder structure

I have a set of files that came from a folder structure but have been changed and dumped into one single folder.
Are there any ways to recreate the original structure without manually copying and pasting?
In this example there are no duplicate filenames. I have the original folder structure as reference.

I'm hoping there is something that can look at the filename and reference the same filename in the original folder and either place it back in the original folder or create a parallel structure.

Does such a thing exist without getting into the scary world of PERL or Python?:D
 
I know, I'm asking a lot here.
I have the original structure with all the original files in. I then have all the changed files in a single folder outside of that original structure.

If it were a vast number of files I'd probably export the contents of the folder structure into a text file and import that into excel. I'd then use Concatenate to create a batch file to move or copy the files into a matching structure.
The problem with this is that it requires a lot of set up each time, and these tasks seem to happen too often to do this if there is any alternative!
 
That looks really promising, thank you.
I'm not in urgent need of this, but it's something that would be worthwhile for me again and again.

Cheers
