Batch copy to multiple locations replacing part of filename

Question

Say I have multiple files file-replace-1.ext,file-replace-2.ext,...,file-replace-10.ext to be copied to locations ~/tree/loc1,~/tree/loc2,...,~/tree/loc5 replacing the part replace with corresponding loc*.

I have been using

for i in *replace*; do cp "$i" ~/"tree/loc1/${i/replace/loc1}"; done

to get it done for just loc1. How can I batch copy this way to all the locations?

Update

I used loc1,loc2, etc for simplicity. The code I am looking for should work for any subdirectory name in a parent directory. For example the subdirectory names could be the names of months.

Use a find command, printing only the directory within the tree structure and incorporating this within within your loop and so:

for i in *replace*
do
  find ~/tree -maxdepth 1 -type d -printf "%f\n" | while read line
  do
     if [[ "$line" != "tree" ]]
     then
       cp "$i" ~/tree/"$line"/"${i/zipped/$line}"
     fi      
  done
done
