hi

my program is to sort the files and my files will be like tis

engPG1j1.top
engPG2h3.top
engPG3g5.top
engPG4r6.top
engPG5y1.top
engPG1u3.top
engPG2w8.top
engPG3e5.top
engPG4m3.top
etc...

And i have to create N folders at run time as many PG1 Files
say suppose im having 5 PG1 files ,then i have to create 5 folders and
each PG1 files should go into each folder again each PG2 files have to do the same
finally it will be (PG1,PG2,PG3,PG4,PG5)in one folder like tat i have to do

Thank you

i am assuming u hv some files like 20 after 20 files reading u want to create a folder ryt.

#!bin/ksh
count=` find $HOME /- maxdepth 1 - name "test_dat*.txt" - print | wc -l
if [ $count -gt 0 ]

then
for $txtfl in $HOME/test_dat*.txt;
do
echo "copy ur files in $txtfl"

cat $txtfl >> $HOME/dnew/dfile.dat
done;
print "moved sucessfully"
fi
