Thanks for the swift response.

My current working directory:

/home/dirA

has the following files:

a1.txt created on 1st of Jan
a2.txt created on 2nd of Jan
a3.txt created on 3rd of Jan
a4.txt created on 4th of Jan
a5.txt created on 5th of Jan
a6.txt created on 6th of Jan
a7.txt created on 7th of Jan
a8.txt created on 8th of Jan
a9.txt created on 9th of Jan


Expected results:

a1.txt (/home/dirA/a1.txt) to end-up in this directory "/home/dirB/01/" and the long listing of that file is "/home/dirB/01/a1.txt"
