Debian Archive files to different target folders based on criteria

Hi All,
I am creting archive script in which i need to split the source file's to different target folder's based on the input file name first character.

Input1.txt -- will contains file names that are needs to be Archive.

Input1.txt
Code:
A1213355
B2255666
C2254555
A6655444
C5566445

Source folder will have many different source files , from the source file i needs to archive only the files which are listed in the Input1.txt
sample source folder files
Code:
A1213355
A6565656
B2255666
B5555555
C2254555
A6655444
C5566445

my desired output is based on input1.txt:
AFolder-- should have archived files [A1213355,A6655444]
BFolder-- should have archived files [B2255666]
CFolder-- should have archived files [C2254555,A6655444,C5566445]

my code is like:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/ksh
CURRDATE=`date +%Y%m%d%H%M%S`
Filest="A:AFolder  B:BFolder C:CFolder"
for a in ${Filest}
do
        FOLDER=`echo ${CURRENT_SET} | cut -f2 -d:`
        FILE_NAME=`echo ${CURRENT_SET} | cut -f1 -d:`
        echo ${FOLDER}
        echo ${FILE_NAME}
done
 
cat $SOURCE_FOLDER/input1.txt |
        while read N
                do
                tar -cvf $FOLDER/$N"_"$CURRDATE.tar $SOURCE_FOLDER/$N
        done

Could you please guide me how to achieve this task...Smilie

Thanks in advance...

Try:
Code:
find -name '????????' | awk -vinput=Input1.txt '
BEGIN {
  while((getline line < input) > 0) {
    tmp = substr(line, 1, 1) "Folder"
    a[line] = tmp
    system("echo mkdir -p " tmp)
  }
}
$0 in a {system("echo mv -v " $0 " " a[$0])}'

If everything is ok, remove echo-s and add tar-s for directories
