I have a list of URLs in plain text. These URLs describe a directory structure on the server, e.g. **External links are only visible to Support Staff**www.website/dir1/dir2/file.exe .
Using the normal LinkGrabber will make JDownloader write all these files into the same directory, i.e. I'd end up with website/file1.exe, website/file2.exe, and so on. Rather, I'd like to preserve the folder structure, i.e. download the file into dir1/dir2/.

I am using the Packagizer with two rules:

If Sourceurl contains

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

Then set Download Directory

<jd:source:1>

An example URL would be

**External links are only visible to Support Staff**

The issue with this approach is that the "intermediate directory", i.e. the contents of <jd:source:1>, is taken as a string and has all occurrences of / replaced by an underscore. For example, the Download Folder will be "7th Sea Guides_02 Character Info_".

Is there a way to fix this?

all / within filenames are replaced at the core as they are deemed illegal characters.
at best do not listen for it, and manually place in the path <jd:source:1>/<jd:source:2>

You either have to create a rule for different level of depths
like
1.) ..../([^/]+)/([^/]+)
2.)...../([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)
3.)...../([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)/([^/]+)

or use the eventscripter and write script, see https://board.jdownloader.org/showthread.php?t=70525
that parses the path and sets the download folder as wished.
in case you need help, ask/contact mpgai. He's our script master
